Suggest Treatment For Back Ache After Accidental Fall
I am 49 years old, in pretty good shape, I took a very hard fall on my left hip and butt. The bruise covered my entire left side and thigh, I had no real pain other then the area of the bruise itself, but after 10 days or so bruise slowly going away my lower back started to hurt. Rested did all the right things still crazy hurts. Can't sleep at night. having hard time working now. going on for four weeks now.
It look like that you may have hurt your back very badly. Some time even muscular injury can cause pain up to 3 weeks. Are you feeling like worsening than i would recommend you to get an X ray of your spine. Sometime even such trivial fall can cause vertebralfracture, so ho harm in getting a x ray. I would also recommend you to take muscle relaxant such as myoril, apply loca ldiclofenenc gel and take warm shower.
