Suggest Me Treatment For Severe Pain In Back And Spine After Fall From Stairs?

I fell down stairs and landed on my spine / kidney area. Have been to doctor and have appropriate meds, however, i have a severe stabbing on my left side when I try to move. Bruise is across entire lower back, spine is swollen. I could stand all of that except the sever stabbing pain when i move. The meds help slightly. It's worse in the morning. The injury happened 4 days ago.

Hello,

I had gone through the case and I will advise to go for CT or MRI scan of vertebrae, there might be any slight hairline fracture or slip disc which creating the pain.

You must take rest and do not try to bend by back because there will be inter-vertebral disc that causes pain.

If there is no fracture then take physiotherapy massage of back and take painkiller and muscle relaxant gel for local application.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.'

Thanks and take care
