Should I See A Doctor For Pain In My Lower Back Post Injury?
I was playing football today and ran for a ball and tried to stop right before some concrete ahead of me but was not successful and slipped and fell very hard on my lower back on my right side. It has been 6 or so hours and the pain has not subsided at all. When I do not move, the pain is very minimal but as soon as I make even the smallest movement, I get a shooting pain right in that lower back area. I have taken ibuprofen and used icy hot which has not helped very much. I don t think anything is broken but instead a very deep bruise. Is this something worth seeing a doctor for or will the pain go away with time to heal?
