See a doctor: As a trauma surgeon, i can speak first-hand about the dangers of ladders--even a relatively "minor" fall can cause quite a bit of internal injuries. The persistence of your back pain warrants a formal evaluation to be certain that there is no significant back injury. I would make an appointment with your doctor asap or go to an er for evaluation.

Get examined: Backache after a fall requires to be examined by your doctor to rule out serious treatable conditions, if no treated could leave you with long lasting problem.
