What Could Cause Intense Stabbing Pain From Middle Of Spine To Lower Left Back After A Bad Fall?
Hello ..I was snowboarding yesterday & fell. When I fell it seemed as though I fell on my lower left side back. My head also hit the snow pretty hard. I was wearing a helmet. My neck seems fine although my lower back left side is stiff sore and I get stabbing pains that are very intense. And when I touch/massage the middle of my spine it sends a stabbing pain down to the localized injury of lower left back....what should I do. I have been icing 15 minutes and & 45 minutes no ice, then repeating. I did not work today. I have been trying to do the RICE method. Why is there stabbing pain.

Hi
You must visit ER for x-ray spine.Take tramadol100mg twice a day and advil tab thrice after meals.
Just lie in bed in comfortable position and apply voltaren gel.
Take myoril twice a day if spasm is severe.
Any bone injury must be ruled out.
Wear a spinal brace in daytime
