The height you fell from is significant. A plain x-ray may not have picked up all the injuries. You may have sustained a fracture of the transverse process of the spine (a part of the vertebra). These injuries are picked up on a CT scan.
Next Steps
Assessment by an Orthopaedic / Spine Surgeon and appropriate investigations as necessary. some of these injuries may take 3-6months to settle down

In my opinion u need to consult a Orthopedics to get a thorough examination done....for your muscular problem u can go for a new technique known as dry needling which will be done intramuscularly with a help of a sterile needle with no blood loss...during this treatment I will feel a muscle twitch that will be indicative of relieving of the muscular spasm... for rest kindly visit an Orthopedics so that a final result can come out... get well soon take care

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
What was the finding in x-ray?
20ft is a very big fall.
Get it checked out by a orthopedician in person for further evaluation and management.
He will examine you and suggest you further.
Best regards.
