Does Bruises And Tenderness At Certain Part S Of My Body After A Fall Need Medical Attention?

Hi I slipped and fell down while holding a whole full tray of cutlery on my back with the tray putting even more weight on my body. It s near my spine slightly to the right and is really soar. I have no bruises however it feels like it. Certain movements and positions really hurt. Do I need to go to the doctors or will it pass? Thanks

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello, Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you had injury in your right back. It seems to me soft tissue injury.
Its treatment is rest to part(immobilization). Putting ice is useful . You should not use it till it pains.
Analgesic such as diclofenac will be of use for pain.
You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing.
Eat fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.
X-ray of back can be done to exclude fracture.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
