Reason For Chronic Back Pain Years After Falling On Butt With Sharp Pain In Spine And Difficulty In Breathing

A few years ago I was at my sister bday party and my dad had me stand on his shoulders to get a balloon that had gone too high. I lost my balance and fell. I landed straight on my butt, a sharp pain went up my spine and I could barely breath or move. This happened a little over 3 years ago and I am still having chronic back pain. It comes and goes but it's gotten unbearable recently. What could it be?

You must have an X ray for the affected area of the spine and consult orthopedic surgeon. Landing on the butt may entail injury to tail bone (coccyx) and sitting on hard surface may bring pain .Once the region is identified, specific treatment can be instituted
