Why Is The Back Hurting Severely With Shortness Of Breath After Falling Hard On The Butt ?
I was skating on my longboard with a backpack strapped to my back about 10 minutes ago, and I fell on my butt after I lost balance. I got up immediately, and that s when I realized that I was out of breath, and my back was hurting tremendously. I had to sit back down on the floor to catch my breath. After I felt like I could breathe better, I stood up, but I could still feel a little short of breath and my lower back was hurting a lot. is there something wrong with my back, lungs, or butt?

Hi, Welcome to HCM. Due to fall your muscles got injured. you are having pain in muscles,there is muscle spasm.As abdominal and back muscles act in the respiration. so shortness of breath is due to mucle pain and spasm.Analgesics(diclofenac sodium 50 mg three times a day) will be benficial .
