Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain And Middle Back Pain

Hey I was jumping on a trampoline and I was jumping and tried to do a backflip and landed on my knees. And my lower/middle back (lumbar I think it's called?) like crunched. It was like my lower back went forward and my upper snapped back and it still hurts in my middle back. I don't know if it's serious it's just sort of soreness. What do you suggest I do?

Hello dear,

Thank you for sharing your concerns in this website.
I understand you are worried but I would suggest you to calm down and follow these steps i'm explaining below:

It's obvious you have done a muscular straining and probably spinal ligaments straining since you have done an acrobatic movement that has passed your limits.

So first of all I would suggest you to use:
- Ketoprofen gel to your affected area of your back to kill the pain and inflammation
- Oral painkillers such as ibuprofen of diclofenac if you have severe pain.
- Cold compresses first and Warm compresses if more than one day have passed from the injury. Try to reduce the movements of your back and lumbar area for a while of time.

If you perform these steps and still you have not any improvement then consult an orthopedist to do further examinations.

I hope you will get relief soon.
Take care and I wish all the best!
DR ERIOL.
