Hi im Dr.Nallammai,
Welcome to HCM,
On seeing your history i can understand tat ur lower back area and buttock is hurt , this might have led to sciatic nerve injury which causes shooting down pain..for which oly muscle relaxant is nt sufficient..
first thing reqd is complete bed rest, take T.ultracet 1-0-1 and T.pregator 0-0-1
ALONGWITH MUSCLE RELAXANT WHICH U R TAKING
once u recover frm pain,back strengthenin exercises are necassary

Welcome to healthcare magic. Epsom salt bath and ice application will be helpful. Hematoma will get resolved on its own. RICE ( Rest, ice, compression, elevation) help in faster recovery. Along with muscle relaxant,chymotrpsin/serratiopeptidase will be helpful. But you need to consult doctor for the same. Is hematoma increasing in size?
