Lower back pain after fall from height
My husband fell from height due to electric shock today morning. He was immediately taken to hospital. The doctor suggest xray which was clean and then he suggested MRI which is done. We will receive reports tomorrow. He fell on his back and was not able to walk initially. Later on he could walk. The doctor as of now only suggested pain killers. He is not having any leg pain or problem in leg which was asked by doctor. He has got burn mark in his arm, elbow and neck. However, the pain has reduced a bit and is not aa bad as it was in the initial. The only problem that is facing right now is lower back pain specially while trying to lay down or get up. He is able to walk and sit on sofa. I wanted to know if burns are serious as the doctor did not address much about the marks.

Depends on the degree of burns.
Can't comment based on just the description. Need clinical pictures. Better to consult in person for the same
Backpain can be managed as per intensity. Might need a MRI if it doesn't get relieved with medications .
