Slipped on carpeted stairs last evening & then had some pain in middle of back & stomach gas pains.  Is it related to fall.  The pain in middle back is a dull ache?  Im 77 years old & in pretty good health otherwise.  After the fall I felt stomach pain & some nausea.  This morning still dull ache in middle back  Email address:   YYYY@YYYY
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The dull aching pain that you are having is likely to be due to a soft tissue injury. Usually adequate rest, hot fomentation and mild painkillers are needed to take care of the mild symptoms. This should subside in next 7-10 days. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
