Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell in a small bathroom last night and hit my lower left back on the sink...today the pain is severe when I go to stand up but I can walk with out pain and sit with no pain. and generally it does not hurt --it s just when I move a certain way the pain is sharp. I ve never had back pain before. suggestions?
In your case back ache may be due to many reasons like musculoskeletal reasons like sprain,fracture etc. I suggest X-ray L/S spine (AP/Lateral view) to exclude fracture.
After excluding fracture you may need to take analgesics and muscle relaxants. You should take complete bed rest for three-four days.Hot fomentation can also be done.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
