Severe Pain in the Middle of Back

Dr Joshua,
Last summer I took a hard fall onto our hardwood floor in out dining room and injured my tailbone. Now, the pain is gone but if I stand up for a minimum of 3 minutes I get severe back pain in the middle of my back and I have to sit down. Could this have been caused by my fall? This pain just started about 3 months ago. Which is about 5 months since my fall. What should I do or what is recommended?

Dr. Joshua’s Answer:


I recommend that you see a doctor and have a spine X-ray done to rule out any serious cause originating in the bony structures. Also, a doctor’s physical examination and a thorough history is needed. There are various possible causes, but without knowing your age, gender, or any previous medical history, I cannot make any suggestions.
