Hi I seem to hav hurt my back while swinging over 13 trash bags into the dumpster outside the kitchen were I work they were not very heavy perhaps about 20 -30 kg each but I have not done this kind of work before I worked as a cashier and desk jobs before. I am 47 years old and when I went home that nyt found that I had difficulty breathing and also moving around in the bed , getting up was painful I took painkillers for a few days and continued to go to work until sunday wen I had to go to the hospital as pain was unbearable .would like to kno the emergency dr gave me a drip and difene 75mg 2x a day . My daughter who lives far from me thinks I should go for physiotherapy of some sort as I need to recover .do I need to apply any hot or cold packs or any sort of gel to the areas of pain which seem to be the sides on my back and is it a pulled muscle or ligaments?I am a male
