What Cause Sharp Pain In My Lower Back Up To The Ribs?
I fell off a back railing and landed on concrete past Monday. I went to ER and was given pain meds and flexural and have been off work all week. I use to go to the gym everyday but decided to take the week off. I went today and after 5 mins of slow walking I got a sharp pain in my lower back up to the ribs about 1 inch from the spine. I have tried hot bath, cold compresses, and I rubbed my back for a few minutes and got this pain that was severe enough not to move an inch. I do not know if I need to go back to the ER, they did not find any broken parts from the xray?

Hi,
It is due to muscular pain.
As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Acetaminophen for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. You may require an MRI scan in severe cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
