Suggest Treatment For Severe Back And Abdominal Pain After An Injury
Hi, I am a 50-year old female. 4 days ago, I slipped and fell. I hurt my back and have been asked to be on a 6-weeks bed rest and to wear a back brace throughout this period (x-ray says the my bone got slightly move due to the fall). However, since the fall I have been having stomach pains, which hasn t diminished in 4 days. Is it because I have been taking calcium tablets and should stop them? Or it is somehow related to the fall?

Hi,
In my opinion you don't have to worry at all that is very common with all patients using painkillers or analgesic containing NSAIDS you may need to use an alternative or decrease the dosing and use it when needed or just decrease it from 3 times per day to 2 or such that wont affect your treatment it may cause less analgesia and by the way calcium tabs doesn't cause gastric pathology.
I recommend using ranitidine before meals which may help some say olive oil, milk, yogurt helps with gastric acidity also malox sachets now are available. Please consider some positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards,
