Muscle spasm: Degenerative changes are age-related & not usually associated with acute injury. The scoliosis might indicate that you have a functional spine posture that is an unconscious accommodation to a sacroiliac joint movement and ligament injury at the time of the fall. See an osteopath or physiatrist specialist if it continues. For now rest & warm soaks might be best to relieve muscle spasm.
