How To Treat Painful Back Caused By A Fall?
I fell out of a tree from probably 16 feet and landed flat on my back, the urgent care found nothing wrong but a month later it still hurts when I twist from side to side. Nowhere hurts when I touch it, it only hurts when I flex my back muscles. How much longer will it hurt?
