I sprained my back last Saturday. I still have pain when I am more active. Is it risky to "rebarree"? What should I do?

I am very active and intolerant to ibuprofen.

Good evening ma'am,

Yes, it is possible.

In such a case, you need to strengthen your back muscles first before resuming more "active" physical activity.I highly recommend you to consult a physical therapist to do so. The next few days are critical so that you do not remain with an after-effect of your sprain.

Good evening,

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
