I have gone through your question. What I comprehend is, when you lifted the scaffold, you developed intense back pain because of back muscle spasm which lead to fainting. The head lump is because of impact on concrete floor. This head lump needs some investigation if you are experiencing vomiting, ear, nose and throat bleed or clear fluid discharge. Loosing conscience after back pain is a rare thing. If you still remain drowsy and any of the above symptoms persists then CT Scan Brain with bone window might be needed to rule out any intracranial pathologies.
For back pain I usually prescribe diclofenc sodium along with tizanidine (muscle relaxant), peroxicam local application. For elbow bruising you need antiseptic dressing with pyodine, tetanus toxoid booster and Antibiotic to prevent infection.
I hope my answer will help you. Do rate my answer if you like it.
