How Long Does The Pain In Back Take To Alleviate After A Fall?

I fell off my bike onto my back. Xray did not show fractures, but I have osteoarthritis and spondilolythesis. I was not having lower back pain before the fall, but after two weeks, it is still sore. What is a normal time to expect the pain to subside?

Hi dear..You should be careful while riding your bike.
May i know your age??
There is no harm in taking a few calcium pills in the long run and if your in lot of pain brufen or serratiopeptidase/ aceclofenac combinations will help.
Pain from fall usually takes 3-7 days to subside depending on the impact to the site.If your bruised it could take a little longer.You might experience a little tummy trouble , thats because of the impact the sudden jerk/fall would have had on the intestines. You should be fine in five days flat.
I hope this answers your question dear.
Take care next time.... if its hurting a lot... you can apply a diclofenac patch over the area of intense pain. It helps
