Have Severe Pain In Back Due To A Fall?
I had a bad fall on the ice about 8 wks ago. I landed on my upper back and hit my head real hard. Went to the ER with a concussion ct scan done on neck and head. I have had constant excruciating pain in my mid to upper back since the fall. I have tried to continue working part time. My job is cleaning and very physical. They sent me to physical therapy and after six sessions I am in worse pain. Please help I believe I need an mri. The pain is so intense at night it gives me stomach aches as well. Migraines from concussion went away after about three weeks.

Hi,
You may have fractured ribs. I suggest you need an x-ray of your chest. Try paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain.
I hope you feel better soon.
