...back injuries are the second most serious of all injuries (first being head/neck), Consult a doctor/chiropractor. So much can go wrong back there, that I won't really be able to tell you what's going on with it over the internet. But, most back injuries... especially ones with falling on it and the like, are due to muscle stress or alignment issues.

The injury u`ve done to ur back can be a number of things from mild to serious.
The mild u may have just trapped ur nerve, which taking pain killers will not really that the pain away much. Or it could be something a lot more seroius u may have bruised ur spine.
My advise the same as dragons go to the doctor straight away even the hospital not being funny if u fiddlesticks ur back bad ur never going to be doing pk ever again.

well i have been to the chhiropractors and it appears to be a disc bulge / herniated disc.

basicially where i fell one of my discs has ruptured and is pushing against the nerve and causing pain in my leg.

the good news is i am on the mend slowly, but have been out for 6 weeks and probably gonna be out for a few more. annoying as i know my parkour is going to be back to square one when i have recovered enough to start doing it again

well good luck and take it easy mate
