Zechariah 14:12
And the LORD will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

I'd go get it checked out, could be bad if you don't go have it looked at, drop injuries or fall injuries from anything above your head height are nothing to mess around with.    :P

Generally a good idea to get these types of things checked out. Messing with the back generally isn't a very good idea.
