Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I fell on my back and injured it. My left side is hurting, and while I can move, walk, and perform activities, certain positions lead to stiff and intense pain in the muscles.

Please help.

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us on icliniq.com.

To reduce the discomfort, I would suggest you apply hot fomentation to the affected area. Also, try to avoid putting strain on that region for some time.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have more questions or need further assistance.

Thank you.
