2020-07-22 06:50:51
Hi I had a fall on Saturday. I just sat down too hard which hit my back. So, I just lied down for few hours. I was not able to sit for 4 hours. Then eventually,I could get up and do some household activities. But I still have pain below my right breast and right side back. I sometimes feel a sharp pain. But iam able to bend down or bend down completely. Please suggest if I need to do consult doctor or some home remedies will help.

You have sustained blunt injury on the right side due to the fall. The pain will happen when you will remain bent forward too much to do your domestic and professional activities plus mobile use.
Next Steps
focus on sitting, standing and sleeping in position such as they exert less stress on those areas.
