Friday I fell on the ice, I landed all 235 lbs of me on my right buttocks on the edge of the concrete stair, initially I had a red area, then a purple crescent, the bruise now goes around to the front and up my back, is this normal, or is it internal bleeding? x ray showed no broken bones, but I do get a deep muscle burning sensation when I walk or stand up.
Hi thanks for using ChatDoctorIn my opinion all you need to do is give you back a little rest. For immediate relief have some painkiller along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks. You can also apply some good anti-inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strengthening exercise daily. After 2 weeks start with some back strengthening exercise. It will help you build you back muscle, and you will be able to continue with your practice in few weeks but do not overlook at the symptoms right now. Good luck
