Torn ligament

Hi,My grandmother is very old. She fell 2 weeks ago on her back and in 2 days began feeling very strong pain in the back area below shoulders. The X-ray results revealed torn ligaments on both sides. She is in a big pain. What could be done to heal her? Thanks very much,Lana

    : Thanks very much,: LanaI don’t know if your grandmother can take Anti-inflammatory medications, but that would help with the pain and rate of healing. She needs to ask her doctor about that, as well as try to get some professional Physical Therapy, which can also help a great deal. In the meantime, Ice should help the pain. Has she been treated by an Orthopedist for this injury? If not, that would be the best specialist to treat her for this problem. Sometimes a simple back brace can also be helpful…her doctor should be able to fit her with one. Let us know how she makes out.
