Suggest Treatment For Back And Neck Pain
Hi,
Yesterday, my friend tripped me over from the back of my ankle and I fell on the grass. The right side of my back hurt and I had a headache. The next morning I woke up and the right side of my back and neck hurt. After a few hours, I felt dizzy when I walked. When I tried to look or concentrate at something, I felt even more dizzy. What can I do to stop feeling dizzy and cure the back/ neck pain?

Topical ice would help greatly with the muscle spasms, as would over the counter antiinflammatories (Advil or Alleve). The dizziness could be coming from head trauma, or from jerking of the neck, or from the ongoing muscle spasms. Rest and the above measures should help, but if you develop vomiting, or pass out at all, then you should seek medical attention.
