<human>: hello...i fell about 8 feet off a ladder today and landed on my back on the ground.....my back is very sore.....my motion is fine and I feel no numbness or tingling anywhere. I am just very sore when I have to get up and down. I have been using ice and heat. I am a male, 63, 140lbs, 5 6 and in pretty good health. Should I give it a few days to see if the soreness gets better... thanks
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for your query. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:1. Do hot fomentation at the site.2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.3. Take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
