question: I fell down steps - actually the last two - but hit the edge of step with my lower back - on one side above my waist.I'm on Advil but without it, it's difficult to get out of bed.  Once up, it is just so sore to the touch and getting up and down at work.  I don't see any bruising so far (happened two days ago).  Advil does relieve but didn't know if I should get it checked out.
