Hello Doctor.
My grandfather fell from the bed on his back while sleeping at around 1:00 am today. He is 75 years old. He has pain in the back. And he also needed help to get up.

Hi falling in his age can be very risky. A fracture of hip is very common. In this case also he may not be able to walk and might need rest or surgery depending on the severity.
If it's just a mild muscle ache then you may massage with diclofenac gel and heat packs and give basic painkillers like dolo 650 twice a day after food for 3 days.

best consult and get xray done
