Back Hurting Due To A Slip, No Bruising. Should I See A Doctor ?
Hi, my name is Jacqueline. I had a slip 2 days ago and hit my back on a corner shelf pretty hard. It still hurts really bad when i move and pressure is applied in the area. There is no visible bruising, but should i see a doctor or give it some time?

Hello Jacqueline
First thing please do not apply pressure over it .It may aggregate the problem
Cold formation may be tried without applying pressure
Mild safe pain killer with anti inflametary proprty may be used for ehich probably you need a prescription .However if it is available over the counter at your place a chemist will give you
No bending ;no back exercises;no lifting of heavy objects;some rest are advisable
If no relief in 4 to 5 days time get a MR I of local area and if some thing is positive consult a orthopaedic surgeon or Spinal surgeon
