I had a similar experience about 2 years ago.  I fell and I thought I had a really bad sprain.  It was really swollen and I had bruises all the way up to my knee.  I had never broken anything before and I was pretty sure it wasn't broken.  I didn't hear anything snap and it hurt when I fell, but not too bad.  My mom, a nurse, came and looked at it and told me to keep it elevated.\n\nAbout a month later, I had an appointment with a Podiatrist for something totally unrelated.  When he saw how swollen and bruised I was after 4 weeks, he took an x-ray.  I had broken my leg and my ankle was broken in 3 places.  I was shocked - I always thought breaking a bone would be excruchiating pain!  I had to have surgery and they put a plate and some screws in there.  Now I'm back to normal, with a lovely scar to show for it.  No offense to my mom, but I'm thinking it's a good thing she is retired.\n\nIf after 6 weeks you are still swollen, there is definitely something wrong.  They've ruled out broken bones, but you'll have to wait for the MRI to find out what is really wrong.  Sure, you might need surgery, but it could be worse.  For example, did I mention the fact that I have MS, which affects my left leg and my breaks were in my right leg?  What this meant is that, because my left leg is not able to hold me up, crutches did no good.  I was basically living on my couch for 2 months.  \n\nGood luck with everything - I'm sure you'll be fine =)

My back was hurting so bad it was hard for me to stand for long periods or sit,it was like a burning pain right in my lower back,I went to the chiropractor and he said the reason I was having so much pain is because my pelvic had shifted (I never heard of that before),but now since I've been going it has eased up some. I have had back problems for years also,but more so since I've had my kids. Go to the chiropractor and find out for sure though!!!

Do you know what the cause of your back pain is? Sometimes if you lift something heavy improperly, it will hurt a few days later (not at the time of the incident). Or sometimes it is related to women's periods. It could also be your chest that is sore, but you feel it in your back. Find out the cause and then you can work on ways to make it feel better. Heating pads are nice if the muscle is spasming or tight. Ice pads are good for new injuries, but only for the first 24 hrs. And of course massages are great. If you have the money invest in a few massage sessions (assuming that the damage done to your back is minor). Massages are cheap too, only about 50 dollars for an hour. And it's worth it when you walk away feeling great! Of course Motrin will help with the swelling. But if you can't get the pain under control, see a physician for an examination, some X-Rays and some better pain medication such as Vicodin. Good luck!

It sound like you have something misaligned on your spine.\nYour lower veribra have nerves leading to your leg. Go to the doctor because nerves can be damaged with time.

If its still sore on monday you should get it looked at by a doctor.  If it gets very bad in the meantime then I think you'll be taking a trip to the hospital...;

could be your sciatic nerve but i believe that is lower back not middle.\n\nsciatic can cause pain from back to buttocks and down the leg

Without knowing anything else about the situation it seems that you have an low back problem. Find yourself a good chiropractor--someone your friends or family know and trust. Check out the website below for more information and possible Dr's to help you out. In the meantime work on stretches for the low back and legs.  Also use ice on the part of your low back that seems to be involved.  Avoid heat.  I hope this helps. \n\nhttp://www.gonsteadseminar.com then click on referrals and find your state

Sounds like you may have injured the sciatic nerve that runs from your buttocks to your heal.  Only rest and cortisone shots will help

try heat 1st...it helps relax the muscles in case you may have a pinched nerve (which is kinda what it sounds like) or maybe some bengay, but if it goes longer than about 3 or 4 days...go to the dr...you may have done something worse...perhaps a herniation or a slipped disk.

Going on the assumption that there was no head injury, since you didn't mention this, it could be a vertebral compression or fracture.  This could put pressure on one or more spinal nerves causing the symptoms you describe.  Please see an Orthopaedist for X-rays, evaluation and treatment options before the damage is permanent (if it isn't already).  Best of luck to you.

It certainly could mean a fracture which can be just as bad as a break. You didn't say how long ago this happened, but if you're feeling these symptoms a couple days after the incident you should see your Doctor about getting it X-rayed.

Have you had any other recient injury that you can think of? If not I would go to the hospital and let them run some tests. You can check online if you want to and read about your symptoms. Hope that helps.

what kind of pain is it? \nif it's a nagging pain, most likely the bone is bruised.\nsince it hurts when you move, you most likely tore a ligament.\nbut since you were able to manage the pain, I'm sure it's nothing major.\n\ni think it will still be best if you see a doctor. two weeks is a long time for pain and it might need to be seen by a doctor so that it will heal correctly.

Ok you either bruised the bone or you have a heel spur; or both!  Maybe you had a heel-spur and it broke off when you fell. OR..you may have cracked your heel, which no orthopedic doc can do anything about..no cast or anything.   Only way to know is see a doc and have an xray.  Otherwise, soak in ice, take asiprin for inflammation with food, and grit your teeth.

It sounds like just a bruise. You may have hit your funny bone causing tingliness and such. You have now gained all feeling back, which is good. Wait a day or two, and if its doesnt improve get it xrayed. If its not swollen, your fine.

Most likely, you just jolted your nerves around in your ankle. If it helps soak it in some epison salt and take it easy. Best bet is wait until later on tonight if it still hurts after you soaked it wrap a bandage around it and it should be fine or buy yourself an ankle support and have it on for a few days and then it should be fine. If not see the doctor and he will just tell you keep it up and stay off it as much as possible.
