So Im in marching band and someone hit my mid back area with a tuba twice with a good amount of force. I m having some trouble breathing deeply. Short breathes and sniffles don t do anything. But a deep breath hurts. And my back hurts and has had previous injury. I don t believe its serious but I could really use some help. I m a little worried. Any remedied or suggestions?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you are suffering from soft tissue injury and muscular pain. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). It may take a week time to relief. Vitamin B-complex and vitamin C will help promote healing. Second cause can be pleurisy. Treatment of it is similar to treatment of muscular pain.However, you can get x-ray done to exclude fracture and other lung related causes. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.
