my back is so hurt (2 Viewers)

[The_Phantomhive]

I fell down the stairs while cleaning.
So....i'm bruised and beaten. I feel horrible. There's so much tension in my shoulder :')
I'm drinking fennel tea, which is anti-inflammatory. I need Tylenol too
I never ended up freezing ice after I burnt myself so that's not an option.
Suggestions???

Aw, sorry friend, that sucks!

It's counter-intuitive, but you should make a point to get up and move pretty regularly. It doesn't have to be intense, like just a slow walk around your place can be enough, but it'll help keep stiffness from setting in, which will make it take longer to recover.

On top of this it could be beneficial to move your shoulder a bit too for the same reason. Of course not to the point that it’s painful, but just gentle movements to prevent stiffness. If it’s painful to do even a bit of movement and doesn’t pass soon then it may be good to see a doctor ofc. But if a bit of motion and stretching is possible you should try it.

what's cassava?

it's a big potato-like root. it's in the sweet potato and yam family

Use Ibuprofen of Alieve. Those are better for muscle pain. Also, I know it sounds painful but you need to stretch your back muscles. After that kind of injury our bodies get kind of stupid. The muscles tighten up to "protect" the injured back but this actually makes the problem worse. Use a combination of cold and hot. Cold lowers swelling, hot loosens the muscles. If you can get your hands on a muscle relaxer that can help a lot too. Also, Bio-Freeze is amazing and extremely helpful!
