Back injury advise if you have any?!
Question: Last night I fell and landed right on my lower back. Right near my "butt bone". It hurt badly at the time but I was able to get up and move around right away so I wasnt worried. However about an hour later I started having some pain. Now I have a lot of back problems anyway so part of it might just be my regular back problems. I had a hard time getting comfortable last night because of the back pain but again that isnt all that unusual so I thought about it but not much. Now today we visited my mom and before I even told her she told me she could tell my back was bothering me even though I didnt think it really was. When I first sat or stood it hurt a lot more then normal. And walking up stairs it gave me a lot of pain which usually I have no problems going up stairs. Every once in awhile through the day I got shooting pains. But I am really not in that much pain. Can I wait it out a couple days and see I think I just bruised myself up. Or is it worse then I think and I should go in.
Answers:
If you're able to function in your regular daily routine, give it a few more days. You can always call your doctor and talk to his/her nurse but they usually say that you need to go in.
Other Answers:
Schedule a doctor's appt and have an MRI done.
It sounds like it would be okay to wait a few days. If it was really bad you would not need to ask anyone.you would be very anxious to get to the doc A.S.A.P.
