I've been dealing with this back pain just below the waistline for the past three days. It started after I fell down three steps on the stairs. I tried using Volini, thinking it might help, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I'm starting to get really concerned. Could you shed some light on what's going on or suggest what else I might try?
