Trauma: You suffered a mechanical trauma to your back and your symptoms are suggesting a pinched nerve due to inflammation. You should seek immediate medical attention for 2 reasons, first symptom control as pain is unbearable and second to have imaging and treatment as needed depending on findings and potential for further damage.
