A member asked:

I crashed on my mountain bike 2 weeks ago and hurt my shoulder and back. the shoulder is healing but my back is still very painful. the back pain feels like it is at a vertebrae level with my shoulder blade. i'm worried that i have a fracture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Have it evaluated and an x ray will tell you if there is a fracture.
