Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See, this is an Emergency and you should be taken to ER as soon as possible. Falling on back can be dangerous and may lead to trauma and/or fracture.
I would suggest you to go to ER, get an X-ray lumbosacral spine and pelvis done and your further treatment can be planned on the results. Meanwhile, do not try to move much or get up, take some painkiller tablet till you reach ER.
Hope this was useful.
Regards
