What kind of symptoms should i experience after landing on my feet from a 20 ft fall? i dont have any broken bones only muscle stiffness in my back

Fall from a height: Falling from 20 feet can jar the body pretty well. The most common areas of injury after a fall are your heel bone and your back, both can sustain compression fractures. So be sure to get X-rays to be certain there is no subtle injury.
