Hello,

As the bruised area is painful to touch I will advise doing icing which will desensitize the skin and reduce the pain. Post that please undergo some laboratory tests for blood routine which can help understand if any infection is causing this issue. As the skin is only painful to touch when there is some infection.

Also for back pain do regular simple exercises like breathing exercises and simple flexibility exercises which will help improve the muscle property.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
