Suggest Treatment For Pain In Lower Back After Experiencing A Fall
My name is bhuvanesh. My wife fell down 2 week ago (she slipped and sit down heavily on the floor). We consult with the doctor, there is no wound or fracture in the the sitting place. But, she feels so pain while sitting at the end of the backbone. The doctor said its an unsighted wound it will there for 2 or three months. Please tell me some solution for this problem.......... i am looking for your reply,,,,,
