Any Suggestion For Burning/stinging Pain In Lower Back And Vomiting Sensation?

My husband fell on his back, landing on a block of wood. He felt a burning/stinging pain in his low back (like he'd cut himself) & felt like vomiting. He has taken a muscle relaxant, put an ice pack on for 15 minutes, had a bath & is icing again. What else can I do for him? Should he get an x-ray?

If the pain does not resolve within a week, then an x-ray would be in order. Continued icing is a good idea, as are continued muscle relaxants. But for the first few days rest and pain control are the main objectives.
