Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Severe Pain In The Back

Hi. I m a 19 year old male, and last night I jumped out of a 2 story window and messed up my back. I landed on grass, but the ground was slippery and I slipped. I didn t hit my head. But when I fell, I felt a pop in the middle of my back, and moderate pain as I was walking off. This morning I woke up and I was extremely sore. All in my back & neck. I can t really move my head without moving my whole body. I have received a massage, and I ve been taking ibuprofen, eating protein, and using ice & also taking warm baths to help. But is there anything else I can do? It s very uncomfortable. It doesn t hurt much when I m lying down, but if I m up walking around it s painful and hard to move my neck and back. Please help, thank you.

You have got significant trauma to your back and neck and this needs to be investigated to rule out possibility of fracture. I would advise Xray of 1. Cervical spine anteroposterior and lateral views 2. Dorsolumbar spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out fracture. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. If Xray report is normal you need not to worry. Take rest for 3 days and start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 7 days. Apply ice packs and diclofenac gel locally at the site of pain. If Xray is abnormal you need to consult expert spine surgeon with report. All the best.
