What Causes Abdominal Pain Due To Falling Down?

I fell backwards and landed on a soccer ball with my lower back. I immediately had extreme abdominal pain and needed to help to get up. I was about to go to the Emergency Room, but after a warm shower the intense pain had gone down significantly. I chose to rest and see how it went. For the most part of the days, I forget all about it. However, lifting my head when lying down in bed or rolling over normally brings on an unusual burning type of pain. It has been almost a month now and I still feel that odd abdominal pain, but only then. I expect I should probably see a doctor. Does this sound familiar? What do you think is going on?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history and understood the problem.

IT is wonderful to know that you still have not got an opinion of a Surgeon or took a proper treatment in spite of injury 1 month ago.

When one falls backwards and lands on the spine, it ought to cause few types of injury.
-The muscular strain and sprain- hematoma which resolves slowly.
- Stress fractures of the parts of the vertebrae.
- Dislodgment of the inter-vertebral disc, protrusion causing pressure on some nerves and causing the referred pains.

Hence you have to get yourself physically examined by an Orthopedic Surgeon.
Get An MRI of the whole spine, the spinal cord, the soft tissues and vetebrae.

If there is nothing serious, get a medical treatment and Physiotherapy. If there is a surgical condition , get operated.
