What To Do For Pain In The Back Due To A Fall?

Hello,

I slipped and fell on some ice on Mondaybut I felt fine that evening. On Tuesday and Wednesday my lower back and left buttock was quite sore. Since yesterday evening my right leg has been very uncomfortable with tingling. The General discomofort goes from my foot to my buttock (almost like restless leg). I have no bruising and no swelling. Is it possible that I have pinched a never somewhere?

Hi there, thanks for your question.

Yes you are right. Such Patten of radiating pain with tingling sensation after fall on your back , would suggest a nerve picnched in your back. If the pain is not severe and there is no weakness or numbness, rest and analgesics will help relieve pain over a week But if there is very severe pain, area of numbness or weakness u should see your physician earliest for further work up, whicj might include X Ray and if need be an MRI.

Hope this helps.

All the best. Regards.
