What Is Causing Pain In My Middle Back?

I am a fifty year old overweight male whose feet slipped out from under him on the ice. I fell flat on my back and hit my head on the ground. It has been two hours and my middle back is killing me. I feel like I have been in a car wreck. What could have happened?
