The appropriate first aid for this type of injury involves following the R.I.C.E. method, which includes resting the injured area, applying ice packs wrapped in a cloth for 15?20 minutes every few hours, using gentle compression if comfortable to reduce swelling, and elevating your legs or lower back if possible. While Diclowin Plus Tablet may provide pain relief, watch for warning signs such as radiating pain, numbness, or difficulty moving, as these may require immediate medical attention to rule out a muscle injury or spinal fracture.

I'm sorry to hear about your fall and the pain you're experiencing. It's good that you've taken Diclowin Plus Tablet, which contains diclofenac and paracetamol to help reduce pain and inflammation.

For appropriate first aid after such a fall, you can follow these steps:

  • Rest: Avoid putting pressure on your back and buttocks. Rest in a comfortable position that does not worsen the pain.
  • Ice application: Apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in a cloth to the painful areas for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours during the first 48 hours. This helps reduce swelling and numb the pain.
  • Avoid heat initially: Do not apply heat in the first 48 hours as it may increase swelling.
  • Pain medication: Continue taking the prescribed painkiller as directed, but avoid exceeding the recommended dose.
  • Gentle movement: After the initial rest, try gentle movements to prevent stiffness, but avoid any activity that causes pain.
  • Monitor symptoms: Watch for worsening pain, numbness, weakness, difficulty in controlling bladder or bowel, or fever, which require urgent medical attention.

If the pain persists beyond a few days, worsens, or if you notice any neurological symptoms, please consult an orthopedic specialist promptly for a thorough evaluation.
