Hello

Not quite as back as the chaps arm in another post on here -
However I came off my bike yesterday quite heavily on my upper back. The fall really knocked the wind out of me and I heard a large crack as I hit the ground - although not sure if this was my helmet hitting the ground.

Today, I've been struggling to look around whilst in the car driving without some pain and I don't feel too good at all - back is constantly painful.

What do you guys reckon - MTFU or go and get it looked at?

Get it looked at, not worth risking backs/spines.

Very unlikely to b anything serious but worth getting checked out all the same.

Spinal issues are always worth a checkup IMO, and I'd normally say MTFU to most stuff.

Just go straight to your A & E and get some X rays and maybe an
MRI scan
