Hello,
I would suggest you to get MRI because some time there is cord edema or mechanical pressure by a very small fragment which is not visible on x rays. Back pain can be due to muscle haematoma and it can occur in whole back.
So get your MRI as soon as possible. If you want then you can share your MRI report with me also. I will try my best to help you.
thanks
