Lena [83]

Answer:

In a non- hospital environment, the best you can do is follows these instructions:

- Rest. Cut back on normal activities to try and help with swelling and pain.

- Ice the area for 20 min., 4 to 8 times a day, with ice wrapped in a towel. This helps with inflammation. During this time, DO NOT apply heat.

- Apply pressure. Wrap an elastic bandage around your back, not too tightly. This helps reduce swelling.

- Go see a doctor that can provide NSAID ( nonsteriodal anti-flammatory drug) to help relieve pain. Chances are you just have a minor back sprain

Explanation:

- Follow-up.

- Apply heat for the first 48 hours

- Warm up and Cool down

- Don't push too hard
