A member asked:
I hurt a lower back muscle when i fell down some steps i went to the er after 2 days and got 800mg of ibrupofen but i'm still in pain what do i do ?

Tincture of time. : If you had x-rays of the affected area and all was well then you probably just need tincture of time and continued Ibuprofen use. Sometimes a muscle relaxant or the addition of Acetaminophen to your regimen can help. Getting up and trying to remain as active as possible is important as well.
