Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got soft tissue injury to your back leading to bruise and muscular injury. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovery. Thrombophobe gel application over bruise without rubbing help in early resolution of bruise. There is no need to worry much, it will resolve with time. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
