Suggest Remedy For Back Pain After A Fall
I came off my horse, landed on my back, got the wind knocked out of me and hurt badly. Between my shoulder blade on the right side and my backbone, then in my chest on my right side near my sternum. There is a tightness in my chest that goes from my breast area to the middle of my back. I had b-day but they showed nothing was broken. It has been 4 days and not my back pain has increased. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

If xrays been done for chest and spine and show no fracture perhaps you may have contusion of soft tissues,ligaments.Take ibuprofen 400mg thrice a day after meals, Tramadol 100mg SOS for severe pain, rest in bed and do hot fomentation avoiding all movements for 3-4 days.If muscle spasm is there then take chloraxazone tab 500mg twice a day after meals.Take one pantaprazole 20mg tab onempty stomach once a day before breakfast daily
