Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain Post A Hit On Right Side Of Back

Hi, I fell about 4 days ago and hit the right side of my back on the corner of my bed frame. I tried icyhot, tried ice packs, I went to the ER and was given flexirol, ehich hasnt helped with the pain at all,and also which I can t really take because it makes me sleepy and groggy and with a one year old, I can t be eother of those things. The pain has not subsided at all. The er doctor says that my muscle was probably really bruised but it seems like the pain is just getting worse with movement.
