Suggest Treatment For Back And Thigh Pain After Injury

I fell today, probably 6 ft or so and landed straight on my butt, legs in front of me. Hours later the pain is severe in my lower back and through the back of my thighs. Is this normal? Is this pain something that goes away on its own or should I see a doctor?

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think You are suffering from acute backache after injury.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics . Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics . You can discuss with your treating Doctor .There are three possibility ,one is simple muscle injury,second is disc prolapse and third is compression fracture of vertebra. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised.You are advised to see orthopedician. I think your query query answered.Welcome to any follow up query.
