I fell over at work 3 weeks ago and hit the bottom of my back on a wooden floor and I have been in so much pain since, I was signed off work for 2 weeks by a doctor and just got back into work and it has made it worse, I can barely walk now and my back keeps seizing up. what should I do?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
If you having pain after 3 weeks of fall a injury like fracture should be ruled out.A x ray should be taken according to the point of tenderness.If wide pain is there i recommend to take a pelvis and Lumbosacral spine x ray.If no fracture is then then it can be due to strain or sprain.In such case i advise muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like aceclofenac and neurotropic drugs.I also recommend to do warm compress on back.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
