Hi there, Thanks for writing in. Any history of associated cough/ high grade fever? Any history of trauma or fall? Upper back pain or lower back pain? Any stomach pain? With the brief history you have mentioned, the possibilities I can think of are sprained(pulled muscle) back, peptic ulcer, gastritis, pleurisy or pneumonia. Kindly provide further details for a more thorough assessment. I would advise you to visit a doctor for a detailed examination and evaluation. In the meantime, Chat Doctor. Apply voting (diclofenac) gel at the site where it hurts. 15 minutes later apply hot fomentation intermittently. Do this routine 3 times a day. Please do not take so many pain relief medications. You might end up with side effects like gastritis. Take pain relief medication after food. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
