Question : I fell flat on my back from a standing position 3 days ago. Have done the ice and heat, mild relief. Today took a muscle relaxer and pain has eased a bit, hot showers provide some relief as well. Muscle cramps in the morning and difficult turning over in bed. My abdomen looks a bit bloated.

Brief Answer:
Get your investigation done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Now the time has come for you to get xray of back done in AP and Lateral view and send me the report.

Till then you can take aceclofenac + thiocochicoside combination three times a day by prescription of your family doctor.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

Avoid pushing and pulling of heavy objects.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
