What Causes Swelling And Pain On Lower Back Region After Falling Down?
I slipped and fell on a small set of stairs and landed on a stair in the lower back region. Right now there is slight swelling and bruising along with acute pain. Today, i work at two o clock and i only have enough leave to cover 5 hours at the end of my shift. Is this something that i can wait to get checked out until 5 o clock?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using cold compresses it the injured area.
I also suggest using a painkiller to relieve the pain such as Acetaminophen.
You can go and get evaluated after finishing your shift.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
