What Causes Back Pain During Cough Or Sneeze With Pain In Hips And Stomach After Fell Hard?

My 7 year old daughter fell very hard on her back 4 days ago. Since then, she complains of back pain about mid way up in the center of the back. It hurts when standing for a while and when she coughs or sneezes. Today, she says her stomach and top of hips hurt as well as her back. Do you think she is just sore or are these symptoms of something else? Thank you for your help!

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi there.

Firstly I would advise you to get an X ray of the back done to rule out any fracture.

Till then i would advice complete bed rest on a firm bed.
Take a good analgesic and muscle relaxant.
Do not heat the tender area as it might increase the inflammation.....although you can apply local analgesic gel .

Pain while sneezing is due to the stress caused on the injured stea.
Pain in hip and stomach is referred pain from back.

Final treatment will depend on xray result.

I hope my advice has helped.
Good luck
