Suggest Remedy For Pain,soreness And Bruising In Back
I've just run half a marathon apart from the usual aching muscles my lower back was really sore. I thought it might be where my clothes rubbed but when my sister looked at my back she said it looked like a bruise was coming out? could this be from the impact of running ? my back was sore all last night but apart from being a bit stiff seems fine today. What can this be?
