How To Cure Back Pain After Falling Down?

Yesterday I was walking and saw this big icicle I then ran up to it and I tried to hit it but as I jumped I realized there was a patch of ice I slipped on the patch and landed on my lower back/butt area it hurts standing up and walking. Do I need a docter? What do I do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Well said health is wealth. Since you have fall on back there might be muscle spasm but possibility of minor fracture cannot be ruled out. I would advise Xray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If it's. Normal take rest for 3 days. Take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for pain relief for 5 days. Do hot water fomentation for 2 days. If Xray report shows fracture need to consult expert spine surgeon.
