Having noticed back pain while coughing
Patient: Fell on corner of table the other day. ( Hit lower right side of back ) It s pretty bruised, but for two days the pail was tolarable. However this morning I coughed and something in my back popped and now I m in horrible pain. My wife telling me to go to hospital, but I figure there s not much they can do for me. Doctor: Hi. I can understand your concern. It would be advisable for you to get a chest x ray done.Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. Ibuprofen is anti inflammatory. You will definitely improve with combination of painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Also apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain. Don't worry, you will be alright in 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
