What causes severe bruising in back after a fall?
Patient: I had a bad fall down a flight of stairs Wednesday night I have a really bad bruise on the lower backside of my back and I hit my head on the door busting my eye and causing it to bleed but the past couple days I ve been feeling sick to my stomach bad headaches and occasional spotting when I urinate. I m not sure if I need to go to the hospital or not Doctor: Hi,Thanks  for  your query.From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury. You need to provide rest to the back. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful. Avoid forward bending.I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the  Xray/MRI of the area affected under his/her guidanceI do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care
