I slipped on my stairs and hit my lower right back, has burning pain and I went to see a doctor who said I dont need X-rays and gave me orphenadrine and naproxen. The burning pain went away but I still have sharp pains I cant sit or lay down or bend over what should I do
HI, Thanks for using Chat Doctor, In my opinion u should change your basic routine for 21 days at least. For first one week do complete bed rest. With lying on hard mattress and walking in your room just occasionally once or twice for 2-3 minutes in a day. Next week start with brisk walk and increase the timings from 10 mins to 40 mins depending upon the pain you can tolerate. Just don't over exert. From the 14th day start with back strengthening exercises starting with 10 mins a day to 25 mins twice a day.  Along with all these do some heat therapy and take one tablet of trypsin and chymotrypsin (choral Forte) twice daily. Can betake up to 3 tablets a day for 10 days. You will definitely fell better. Thanks and Regards
