hi i am 15 years old yesterday i was playing football on a grass field outside my house.i was playing in goal when my friend took a shot i ran accross the goal to stop the ball at this time i was wearing no shoes and the grass was wet my lead leg (left leg) slipped and i fell down quickly awkwardly putting pressure on my left leg in turn putting pressure on my back i did not notice any immediate pain although now the next day it is sore in the upper middle of my back and awkward when i move. should i be worried or should i just relax (it is not causing great enough to disable me from walking cycling etc but is still sore.
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems you might develop muscular or ligamentous strain. You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen one tablet twice a day after meals with antacid Omeprazole 20 mg along with muscle relaxant like chloraxazone. This will relax the sprained muscles. If the pain persists, get yourself examined by your doctor do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
