Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Bruise On Lower Back After Falling
About three days ago I fell off the bus and hit the lower part of my back on the steps. Its pretty swollen and bruised and it hurts to run or walk a lot. The bruising and swelling is more towards the right side of my lower back. What should I do for this?

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that it might be due to internal tissue damage.
Take mild painkiller and apply muscle relaxant gel.
If pain or swelling increases then immediate go for MRI of spine.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
