Suggest Treatment For Back And Chest Pain After An Injury
Hello, I fell on my back slipping on some stairs about 30-45 minutes ago. I had the wind knocked out of me, but am still experiencing some slight back/chest pain. Is this anything to worry about? I have taken some pain reliever and waiting for it to kick in. Are there any home remedy strategies for this?

Hello,
It could be minor contusion following the injury.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief: Generally the symptoms will settle in couple of months and if persists, better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
