Bruised Lower Back, Pain On Moving/ Twisting After Falling Flat On The Back?
I was playing football, both feet slipped out from underneath me and I landed pretty hard, flat on my back.
There was a bit of numbness at first, in the lower back, left hand side. I carried on playing.
Now it's very tender to touch, feels a bit like a bruise, and also a very sharp pain if I move too quick, or twist in the wrong direction.

Hi,
from historyit seems that you might be having heavy strain on muscles and some soft tissue injury on the part giving this problem.
Take analgesic with muscle relaxant medicines for 2-3 days.
Give rest to the part.
Apply analgesic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
