Lower back pain after a 4 metre fall?

Dr. David Krulak answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Fall: A fall can cause pain from a variety of sources, and mostly depends on how/where the landing occurred. It could simply be muscle strain, but could also be due to disc problems or even a spinal fracture. Further evaluation is warranted due to the traumatic nature of the injury.
