Hi,

I have gone through your query.

You should get digital x-ray of affected part of back don in AP and Lateral view done. Send it to me I will tell you form the x-ray that whether your any vertebrae is fracture or not or there is just a soft tissue injury.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
