What Causes Severe Dizziness, Nausea And Lower Back Pain Post An Injury?

I fell in the bath tub this morning and hit my kidney area of my back. I have trouble walking. Going VERY slow. I also purchase an Icy Hot pad. Placed it in the area and then fell asleep on it for 6 hours. When I sat up in bed vertigo literally slammed me back down. Now I am very dizzy & nauseated. Still having lower back pain, but not extreme. Should I go to ER or wait it out a bit longer. No blood in urine.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely go to emergency room (ER) and get your self checked.
You had fall and hit on your back.
So possibility of injury to vertebral column and spinal cord is there and this can cause all the symptoms.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination, MRI of spine and ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out internal injury.
So don't wait at home, consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
