Yesterday, I slipped on some wooden steps, my feet went out from under me and I landed with full force on the edge of one step against my lower left back, at the level of the kidney. Did not hit my spine. Today I have a large bruise and pain at the location of the impact. The pain is sharp if I twist my body, while trying to adjust my position in bed, or if I move suddenly or take a deep breath. I am using ice and bed rest and ibuprofen and/or naproxen. No blood is visible in urine. Any suggestions?
Hi, Since you have a large bruise there is a small chance that you could have got some kidney injury. It is better to get an ultrasonogram abdomen which will pick up any injury to kidney or other internal organs. You can apply local analgesic (painkiller) ointments.  Please continue rest till pain subsides and continue other measure you have been doing. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any clarification, Wish you a quick recovery and good health,
