Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
while playing softball i tripped while running backwards and fell hard on my lower right side of my back. the next day i could barely walk or bend over. it felt like the lower right quarter of my back was badly bruised. i notice a bump on my lower side that covers about 3-4 vertebrae.
Dear patient you gave history of high velocity trauma to your lower back with possibility of vertebral spasm and a occult fracture. There is need of further investigation in form of digital radiograph of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. Swelling on your lower back must be haematoma due to bruising. Start taking diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day and do take bed rest for 3 days. Avoid lifting heavy weight and forward bending.provide cold compress over the swelling. All this will surely relieve you of pain.
