Does Muscle Relaxants And Anti-inflammatory Medicines Relieve Back Sprain?

I work at a hospital. On 4/23/2014, a patient was falling and I helped her from falling on the floor. In doing so, I pulled a muscle in my back. Besides, physical therapy, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory prescriptions, are there vitamins or massage aids to help with the healing process of a back sprain/spasms?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fluid build up in legs/feet . As you mention that you have already been prescribed muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory along with physical therapy . Yes your can also take multivitamin supplement for quick recovery , gentle massage will also be helpful . But you should concern your orthopedic surgeon before doing above procedure and before taking vitamin supplement . Also tak proper rest rest , do not bend forward and avoid lifting heavy things .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
