Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have severe back pain I dont know what i did. I was on my knees at work and leaned forward and over and got a severe shooting pain in lower back. I cant even stand up straight now and get comfortable while sleeping its only about 18 hours since it happened. What can i do, I have tried ice for 15 minutes but it seems to get worse after.
dear patient after studying your case history you seem to have suffered from acute back sprain due to work in odd position for long time. this leads to back muscle spasm. this condition requires rest in supine position on hard bed for 3 days and muscle relaxant. you can take thiocolchicoside 8 mg twice a day along with acevlofenac 100 mg once a day. do hot water fomenting for your back.you wl be back on your feet within few days. all the best.
