Suggest Treatment For Pain In Back And Hand After An Injury

I m a female in my 40 s and very active. i fell hard on my back (during my step arobics/zumba workout at home), my main back bone hit the corner of my brick fireplace and my hand hit the floor hard. Now my back bone hurts when i bent my back backwards its been 24 hrs since fall. My doctor cant see me until 30 more hours, should I be worry ? I love to dance latin music so Im worry that i wont be able to move as before the fall. My hand also hurts when I open my fingers. Any advice while I wait to see my doctor?

hi,

as you mentioned about the pain and the mechanism of injury. you need to first take a bed rest as your back is still hurting. Also using hot water fermentation for the hand and back will be good to soothe it.

taking an x-ray of hand and MRI of spine will help further. depending upon the extent of the pain and injury the next treatment is planned, but for time being you should be resting as it is unclear what injury it is.

also post all these, a good exercise programme will help to the deepest extent to make you back in Latin dancing.

with the grace the God I wish you a speedy recovery.
