Suggest Treatment For Back Pain After Injury
My son had a back injury when playing rugby about 5 weeks ago, went to a dr and they injected him with 3 syrins, one voltarin I think. Still pain, but my question is, is there any form of pratising he can do over the holidays to maybe make his back stronger for rugby season again?

Dear parent , you need to get a ct scan on his back to exclude the presence of disc prolapse due to injury. if the ct is normal then this is most probably a muscle injury.. this will need application of an anti inflammatory gel as voltaren together with ibuprofen syrup every 8 hours
