Suggest Treatment For Back Soreness Post Workout

I have been running a lot lately to get back into shape for a sports season. Just today, after I ran 3 miles i noticed my back was a little sore. I didn t think anything of it because I have had back pain before and it normally goes away after a couple of hours. Instead of going away it got worse, I can t touch it without sharp pains. It s on both sides of my spine closest to the bone. There is no bruise, but there is swelling and I tried to lay down but the bed touching my back hurts like crazy, and I haven t had any trauma that would cause this.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion exertion of the kind that you are describing is more of an acute spasm which should be relieved by rest and analgesic with a muscle relaxant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
