Injury: Trauma implies an injury of some sort : mva-sports injury-a fall- gun shot- fall down- off a horse…also the injury is from lifting 2 much or awkwardly. There r many more examples but waking up with back pain does not always imply trauma tho it could if u can recall a specific incident from the day or 2 prior.
