so I accidentally coughed at the same time I was standing up earlier and pulled the muscle in my back even worse. I've been lying here unable to really move with my left side for hours. im in so much pain and I really could use some Tylenol or something at least bc they don't want me to go to the ER
Thats always the worst. It's soo weird what strange combination of things can pull important muscles. I hope you feel better soon!!
That's terrible! I'm sorry.
Aspirin or Ibuprofen will help more since they're both anti-inflammatory. Tylenol doesn't help with inflammation. Alternating a heating pad and ice pack will also help a little. But nothing really helps a lot. Just a slight amount of relief until you heal.
Oh no!! Maybe heat might help? I have no idea but I hope you find something that helps!
