It look like that you may have hurt your back very badly. Some time even muscular injury can cause pain up to 3 weeks. Are you feeling like worsening than i would recommend you to get an X ray of your spine. Sometime even such trivial fall can cause vertebral fracture, so ho harm in getting a x ray. I would also recommend you to take muscle relaxant such as myoril, apply loca ldiclofenenc gel and take warm shower.
