Spine Injury: This back pain you suggested is the result of an irritated nerve or facet joints or other injury typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, etc requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist. Especially since you had trauma it might be best to make sure nothing broke.

Help! I have a sharp stabbing pain in the right side of my lower left back. It happened mostly when I bend over but sometimes when I twist and when I sit down it feels like a mild pressure. I also feel a bit of pain when I walk especially up stairs.
