Lower Back Pain, Numbness In Feet, Visual Blurriness. What Is Wrong?

I was bent over and took a punch in my lower back on right side. It hurt immediately causing my feet to go numb and leaving me unable to walk. I went to the ER and went thru a catscan, then release shortly thereafter with no visible problems in my scan. It s been a few days and the pain has only been slightly reduced. If the pain is still present this coming weekend i ll have to go back to be checked. What would you think?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on your symptoms, I do not think any serious injury has occurred. The pain is most likely due to soft tissue injury, which may take a few weeks to completely heal.
So, there is no need to worry at present.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
