Suggest A Remedy For Stiffness In The Back

I was at a school assembly sitting on the floor and out of nowhere I was kicked in my upper back by a kid with autism for no reason and I m really angry about it because whenever I lie down in my bed to go to sleep my back gets stiff and feels uncomfortable. I don t know what to do about it so what can I do to make my back stop feeling like this?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

There is possibility of bony contusion to vertebrae due to injury.

If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficient
If pain does not relieved then you may need x ray spine.
Local gel and physio like USG and TENS will help.

Later on follow rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
