Slipped and fell and landed on my back. it still hurts a couple days later, but i can move it fine. should i be concerned for permanent pain?

Most pain resolves: The majority of back pain improves over time. You describe a fall which has most likely resulted in a contusion. Over the counter medication like Motrin or Aleve can be beneficial. Also using ice or heat may yield temporary relief as the body heals itself. It most often does not lead to a chronic pain issue.
