Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.The cause of your back ache should be ruled out.Pain due to kidney stone can be ruled out if there is no associated dysuria or recurrent urinary infection.An ultrasound scan should be taken if there is any suspection.Other cause most likely is a sprain or strain due to recent fall.That one can be managed with analgesics and muscle relaxants.If there is any signs of lumbar disc prolapse then an X ray followed by MRI should be taken if necessary.In such case i advise muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like Aceclofenac neurotropics and Physiotherapy.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
