Overweight, Back Pain And Breast Bone Pain. Taken Aleve. Why Is It Getting Worse?
I am a 67 yr. old female a bit overweight but otherwise healthy. I was doing yard work and I ran into a cement table which at the time felt like I stabbed myself. Not wanting to stop I put it out of my mind. The next day I started having pain on my back left side right below the breast bone. I took aleve and did the ice pack for 12 minutes. The problem is it is getting worse. I am able to see pointed bruises on my left back side. Is there anything I can do other than going to Dr."s Thank You

muscle sprain or hair line fracture with hematoma
you must find the damage to treat accordingly
at home you can take anti inflamatory and analgesic tab
ointment locally containing muscle relextant
hot massage
rest
low protein diet and fluids with physiotherapy
