Answers:
stuff called spinal shock, where you entire nervous system shuts down. it trys to protect you form increasing the amount of trauma to your body. it's more apparent when you have had a previous injury. hang out today, take some anti inflams. try lieing on your back, with your knees bent rather than slouching around on the sofa. if its still weird tomorrow, rather than sore (you'll feel like the horse kicked you!) then head to a & e. it'll be quieter on a sunday!!
