Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi , Thanks for posting your query. From description , it seems you might developed muscular or ligamentous strain over back.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Meanwhile following measures will help with the pain • Lie on a hard bed. • Anti -inflammatory drugs like Tablet Motrin 1 tablet as and when required • Avoid forward bending. • Avoid strenuous activity & lifting heavy weights. • Apply diclofenac gel on the affected area. Warm compresses will also help. Hope this will helps you. Warm regards Dr Saurabh Gupta Orthopaedic Surgeon
