[|Human|] hi - I fell down stairs on Saturday and landed on my lower back. It has hurt since, with mixture of numbness. I went to the emergency room on Sunday and after xrays it was diagnosed as a sprain. The numbness is starting to subside, and now I have very sharp pains that radiate ONLY when I touch the area. Other times, just a dull pain. I have been taking Motrin (perscription level) and icing it. BUT, I do sit at a desk most the work day. Is there anything potentially serious with the sharp pain?
[|AI|]  Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to a fall. I recommend doing gentle stretching exercises. I also recommend using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. If the symptoms continue, you should consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
