Suggest Treatment For Hurt And Pain In My Back

hi a week ago tomorrow, I fell down carpeted steps. my foot slid from under me and i landed on my butt and then my back. i slid about 4-5 steps down on my back... I am hyperflexible and my back hurt immediately. it hurt for a couple a days and then didn t. I did some lifting one day and it hurt later. since then it hasn t given me much problems but today after walking around for a few hours it hurts bad. WHat should I do? Is it worse because of my hyperflexiblity?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you

a thorough clinical examination is advised.

as you had a fall this might have led to a disc injruy or a bony injury for which an x-ray or MRI is advised. Also ad per the history it looks more of an injury to the back so taking therapy early is better.

In my clinical practice most cases respond well to physical therapy.

Physical therapy will include - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises
