How Long Will A Bruise On The Back Take To Go Away When There Is No Fracture?

I fell on my back and hit the edge of the sofa and now I have a bruise on my back and it still hurts after 8 days. I went to the ER and they said I have no fractures. I am slightly short of breath as well. How long does it take for the pain to go away. The pain is only when I get up from a chair and I can walk without pain.

soft tissue injury is common in such accident, and it takes couple of week to come around, with the medicine, but still I would advise you to have x-ray of you back for safe side, take care and good day.
