What Causes Severe Bruising In Back After A Fall?

I had a bad fall down a flight of stairs Wednesday night I have a really bad bruise on the lower backside of my back and I hit my head on the door busting my eye and causing it to bleed but the past couple days I ve been feeling sick to my stomach bad headaches and occasional spotting when I urinate. I m not sure if I need to go to the hospital or not

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury. You need to provide rest to the back. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful. Avoid forward bending.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the Xray/MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
I find this answer helpful
