How Can The Bruise On Back Be Treated?
I slipped and fell down a couple stairs and landed on my back. At first it hurt a little, but later that night I realized I had a bruise on my lower left back and it was hurting badly. I could not sleep on that side or my back. When I went to exercise the next day, I had to stop because my side was hurting so badly. Is this a bruised rib or muscle? It is been three days and it still hurts
