Question:
Ever bruised your vertabrae?
Just curious if anyone here has ever bruised their vertabrae in their back.I bruised mine last night cause i went to a fair and was riding alot of rides and kept on getting my back bumped.I didn't realize it till this afternoon when it started hurting.And does anyone know what i can do to make it feel better?Would a heating pad work?
Answers:
No Heat!!
Heat is for tight sore muscles when there is little inflammation use cold for the first few days at least.
I received deep bone bruising from a car accident several years ago. It takes longer to heal and you will be stiff for a while. if your pain is severe or if you get dizzy or have a fever definitely see your doctor asap.
Otherwise gentle stretching and plenty of water(8 -10 glasses a day) will help you heal faster. Also eat healthy including some raw fruits and vegetables each day. After the swelling goes down you can soak in a warm bath with Epsom salts to relieve the stiffness and pain.
Good Luck
