Stiffness In Spine, Wrist Pain, Tailbone Pain And Chest Pain. What Is The Reason?

Hi,

I had fell on my ass skateboarding recently about 8 hours ago, now my tailbone feels really bruised & my upper part around my spine is feels a little stiff like feeling when I move. Kind of like that feeling after you have fell on your wrist. It tailbone area hurts but not severe pain when I skate or jump up & down, my upper back just has feels that stiffness like feeling & it's also kinda hard to take a deep breathe afterwards. I have stretched by bending forward, no pain but I can feel a little stiffness on my way back up & in the middle of my chest as well. When I arch back I feel fine. My lower back is fine, I've twisted left & right, I feel no pain, just a very little stiffness kinda feeling on my upper back. When I lay down I get stiffness kinda pain as well. My upper back hurts when I get up from laying down as well. it Is it normal for my upper part of my back to feel like from landing on my ass but my lower back feels fine? Also when I fell I landed on both palms of my wrist as well if that plays in any role to why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling. Thanks in advance.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The multiple joint pain and stiffness that you are feeling is likely to be due to polyarthralgia or rheumatoid arthritis. You can consult a rheumatologist for proper investigations needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
