Discomfort In Lower Back Due To Falling Down. How To Speed Up Healing Process ?
Two weeks ago I fell on my lower back. No bruising appeared but it is causing a lot of discomfort still and I still have to be careful when laying down, sitting or bending over. If I do too much, it becomes a throbbing pain. I suspect only bruising but it is uncomfortable and quite frustrating. Anything I can do to speed up the healing process? Thank you

HI
Welcome to HCM
You might have caused damage to you vertebral column during the fall which is causing irritation or pressure on the disc and subsequently on the spinal cord that is causing lot pain.
Recommendations are use of lumbosacral support, Non inflammatory drugs like diclofenic, physiotherapy and straight lying posture.
Thanks
