Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in lower back and shoulder post injury . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like disc injury , compressed fracture or muscle cramp . I would suggest you to take proper rest , stop lifting heavy object and bending , apply warm compresses to back and shoulder and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan, MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory along with physical therapy . Doctor may also recommend surgery in severe case .
