Sharp back pain

2017-11-11 10:45:22
While reacting suddenly to pick up a falling phone, i reached out to grab the phone too fast and twisted something in my back this morning. Since then, there is severe pain in my back with any movement. I am not able to move without excruciating pain. Took a pain killer just now but unable to go visit a doctor. Please suggest.

As per your complaint bending and twisting movements can strain our spine or sacroiliac joint. You can use hot fomentation 2-3 times per day. Single knee to chest and bilateral knee to chest in pain free range give you some relief. But it's better to visit your near by qualified physiotherapist for proper assessment and treatment. I think in short days of treatment you will be fine. Get well soon
