Why Am I Having A Bruise At Site Of Back Pain?

hi last night I had some back pains and I laid down on the floor to see if that would ease the pain and I couldn t get up off the floor for near enough 45 mins! I had to use a chair to get myself up. I went to get in a bath as I thought that might help, I looked at my back in the mirror and I saw I have a bruise exactly where the pain is. But I haven t banged myself or done anything out of the ordinary! So I m a little concerned on why I have a bruise where my back pain is especially when I ve done nothing to cause it! Could the bruise be caused internally? I m 20 years old so I don t want back problems at my age! Many thanks Reece...

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
I saw your question, don't get panic and don't worry, you can use hot pack on your back for some pain relief and along with that also take rest for 1 or 2 days. Do apply some pain relieving ointment post hot pack use for further relief. And still if pain is not gone. I would suggest to consult a ortho or physio doctor to evaluate it further. But as per me it will get over and once it gets over you should see a physical therapist and take spinal exercise program so that it can not come back in future if you follow the exercises. If still any question post it again I will be happy to help. Take care...
