Pain in lower back, heard a loud noise, severe pain, no apparent bruise. Cure?
Patient: Hi, i sneezed this morning and my lower right back started to hurt very badly. It felt like something got injured on the inside of my body. I heard a loud noise from my lower right back, i checked to see if there was a bruise there but there was not any sign of one. I have very severe pain and I m thinking of going to a hospital if i do not get better. Anything you can help me with doctor? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for posting your query  It seems you have developed muscle strain over lower back following sneezing, due sudden jerk and pressure. To reduce pain and for better healing- Do hot fomatation at site Apply musle relaxant gel 2-3 times a day Take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting. And rest well.  Hope this will helps you Regards Dr Saurabh Gupta
