Should An Injury On Spine Be A Cause Of Worry?

yesterday I was bending over, and when I went to stand up I hit the middle of my spine about halfway down my back, on the dining table. Today it hurts and feels bruised but when I went to look at it I couldn t see any sign of any bruising, is it okay?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM
Firstly, please be careful when dealing with spine as injury to spine is sometimes a problematic thing. Now for your hurting back have some pain killer and a good muscle relaxant and apply some gel locally if it hurts more. Just be a little over cautious for a week or so. Do some hot fermentation if pain increases and take proper rest. Avoid exerting. And still if you have problem then you should get an X-ray or MRI done but as of now you will be fine in 2-3 days .
