Could A Door Slightly Hitting One's Back Hurt The Back?
Question: I was closing my front apartment door and it slightly hit my back while it was closing. Could that hurt your back. I was standing close to the door when I closed it. I feel no pain.
Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm
Detailed Answer:
You couldn't get some serious injury during such incident unless you have some significant osteoporosis. You obviously got some hard hit and contusion of back muscles but fractures of vertebrae is not possible so pain may persist for few days but it will pass for sure. Try to rest,take nonsteroid painkillers and ice painful areas. Wish you good health. Regards
