Ice it: You likely experienced a contusion on your back from the force of the fall. The injury caused some minor tissue damage and possible bleeding below the skin even if you can't see discoloration or a bruise. Not sure what the scratches are, but possibly an associated abrasion. Reducing inflammation is key: use ice bag or bag of frozen peas for 20 minutes 3X/day. If expands, painful, worsens, see Doc.
