What To Do If Having Point Tenderness Since Falling On The Back Few Months Back?

I landed directly on my back several months ago and still have point tenderness. I had some x rays taken during a physical and my back looks like it has a little scoliosis in that same area even tho I have no history of that. When an x ray from the side was taken the vertebrae in my thoracic spine looked a little bit of deformed compared to the others on either side of it. I do have an appointment to see a doc next week but was interested if there were any thoughts for what it might be or the treatment associated.

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think you are suffering from post tramatic chronic backache.Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac SR). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation( weekly with milk) can be taken.Avoid long continuous standing.Sit in a straight posture.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.You are having point tenderness.Consulting with treating doctor is advised. I treat many of my patients by local triamcilone injection .You need to done MRI TO RULE OUT other causes. I think your query answered
