I have bad heaviness that wraps around my back, hip to hip, now starting to go around to the front. lumbar xray done. showed something. severe cramping type pain when lying down when I try to move or raise up. on flexeril, Mobic, Tylenol for pain. can t stay on my feet but very limited time. have been very week; getting a little stronger, but can t do much. it was a very hard fall that bruised my back below the waist to the tailbone, small bruises, and my upper back hit the wall. what could I have done? the lst dr. said the exray showed something smashed or mashed in my spine

hi,

as you mentioned your history of fall and symptoms, it appears to me there could be chances of the soft tissue Injury in the intervertebral disc space, the second chance could be the listhesis of the spine which is common. but in 99% of the cases the recovery is achieved by the combination of conservative treatment and physical therapy. so let the report come first as it will assist further.

with the grace of God I wish you a good health
