Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain in the back is concerned, it can be secondary to the inflammatory response to the trauma or a fractured bone. You need to consult an orthopedician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of analgesic like ibuprofen or diclofenac(if you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Later once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can manage accordingly. Do not neglect.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
