What Causes Discomfort And Pain On The Left Side Of The Back?
Brief Answer:
Possible muscle strain or nerve pinch
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
Looks like you might have strained a muscle or pinched a nerve during your movement.
Continue using hot pads if you see them helpful.
Take a pain killer, if you don't have other problems that might contraindicate them.
Use a analgesic gel, 3-4 times/day locally.
If worse or not better in few days I would recommend seeing a local doctor and consider an X-ray.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the question.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
