Good evening. Well you need to consult a spine specialist and get an MRI of the spine done. If the symptoms happened after a fall, one needs to rule out ligament tear or some minor fracture in the vertebra. Try using some analgesics and physiotherapy sessions. but do consult someone at the earliest.
