Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Lower Spine Post An Accident
Dr. I have pain in my lower spine to the left, though I suffered a bad fall 10 days ago in front hall. I have bruising on my upper right thigh. My GP checked my back and gave me an injection of Morphine. Heat helps and should I go to have an xray.thanks

hi, I have gone through the symptoms you have mentioned, I would suggest you better get x ray done of lower spine which in medical terms we call x ray D-L spine. check whether any swelling is present there, also look for the tenderness over spine. as if now it doesn't look any serious problem, but orthopedic surgeon's consultation is recommended. u can use pain killers like tramadol and paracetamol for symptomatic relief
