How To Cure Bruise In Lower Middle Back Due To An Injury?

Ok, I fell down 6 brick steps on March 3rd, hurts really bad. I have 3 knots 2 closer to skin and 1 that is really deep in my lower middle back. I did bruise and still bruised a little but not as bad. I thought by now I wouldn't be hurting because it is the 15th of March. It is getting worse, hurts to cough, walk, move or pretty much anything. I'm so miserable! I have a little girl that will be 2 next month and I cant run and have a good time with her as I feel I'm going to do more damage. I'm constantly limping and favoring my right leg bc when I move my right leg or walk it hurts my back. Bending hurts. I know I need to get it seen about, but can't get in with my doctor till Wednesday and its only Saturday. Can you tell me what could possible be wrong? I do know bruising will hurt but you would think this happening almost 3 weeks ago I would not be in this much pain or having this trouble. Please help and give me some insight. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
Stephanie

dear stephanie, i can understand your pain and agony. I want to tell you that some time even bruises like this can take months to heal. I have following suggestion to you.
1. Take x ray of spine to make sure that there is nothing wrong with one
2. Take hot water fomentation at back and also apply Diclofenec ointment.
3. Muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz also has a role in it.
4. Avoid sleeping on a very soft mattress, rather choose a firm bed.
