This is the second day, aspirin not quite good enough, but it works... this is when I could a pain pill tonight for sleeping... hum the cost for 1 frickin pill, not worth seeing a doc.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Dear. You can take 3 days of analgesics, over the counter drugs, like Tablet Zerodol- P or Tablet Combiflam, thrice a day. Also apply Fenacin gel locally and give hot water fomentation. Pain should reduce by then. If it is still persisting, then you need to meet an orthopedician who may ask you to get an xray or CT scan if indicated and see if there is any injury to the vertebral coloumn.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
