I tripped and fell down my stairs a few days ago. I fell sideways and hit my lower back to the side on a step. It hurt right away, but hours later hurt much worse and sitting and laying in positions hurt much more. I ve iced it, but not much improvement. Should I go see a doctor or should I take over the counter medicine until the pain subsides?
You should hurry to emergency room of hospital to do some investigations like x-ray and abdominal ultrasound to exclude abdominal bleeding or injury and any bone fractures.
