Hello! My friend took a morning after pill two days after, and then the second one about 15 hours later, cuz we misread ad thought you were supposed to take the second 24h after and not 12... Now it s been 3 days since she took the first pill, and she s got an extreme back ache! It started yesterday and got worse and worse! She then took a Reladol (200mg Ibuprofen and 500mg metocarbamol). It didn t help... Today she s taken 2 tablets in Total of 100mg of Biclofenac, and I ve rubbed tiger balm onto her back! The back still hurts a lot but she s become very nauseous... Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Hello, I have studied your case. According to your symptoms this looks as acute lumbar muscle sprain in your lower back. Most probably due to bad posture or sudden jerk. Another differential diagnosis can be lumbar disc bulge leading to sudden onset of pain. Intervertebral disc compresses spinal cord and leads to lower back pain. When such patient comes to our hospital we usually do x-ray to rule out any nerve compression. MRI spine will show any disc bulge is there or not. And when muscle sprain is confirmed muscle relaxant, analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. Hope this answers your query.
