Should X-ray Be Done For Lower Back Pain After Fall?
Hi, I fell on my butt four days ago and my lower back really hurts
Should I have it x-rayed? It hurts even when I just walk, sit or lay in bed. Especially bad when I am walking up the stairs or if I try to bend over to pick something up or lift anything.

Hello,
I had go through the case and found that if pain and swelling increasing in the pelvic area then must go for X-ray to rule out the fracture or not.
Meanwhile take rest and apply muscle relaxant gel and take painkiller. If there is no fracture and pain really hurts then go for physiotherapy.
Hope it will be improved. Hope my advise will be effective for you.
Thanks
