Ok I will keep this short. I broke 3 vertabrae of my thorassic spine in a serious car accident a couple years ago. I have had pain in my back since but have not been on meds for 6 months or so. So I was snowboarding and tried to do something that I really shouldnt have tried and ended up faceplanting and then having the momentum of my drop have my legs end up going over my back and I heard everything in my back crack. I immediatly thought of the accident and that I really did it this time and this was it but there wasnt any pain until I tried to move. Still the pain was not as bad as the sounds of my back had eluded to. Long story short I didnt return to the slopes that day I went to the car and spent the remainder of the day thinking about going to the hospital or just going home. I just went home and now its been about a week and there is still pain in my lower right hand side of my back. I dont know whether its a broken rib or bruised rib or what? It woudl only hurt if I strained that area of my body initially, but now my whole back hurts really bad(like when i broke the vertabrae). Should I get new xrays? How long should I wait? The pain is bearable but barely. ANy suggestions would be nice. I know I was all over the place but thats my ADD kicking in and first post jitters. Thanks
