I've been having lower back along with bruises

Three years ago I fell 30 feet from a tree and landed on my feet/buttocks. I ended up have a lower lumbar spinal compression fracture. I've went to several physical therapists but the pain still continues. It hasn't bothered me for a good bit since I've gotten use to the lower back pain. But two weeks ago the back pains started to greatly increase and my hips have been hurting badly as well( I don't know if they actually hurt or if it's from the back pain. I'm never comfortable now because it oddly feels like my insides are being squished. Today a family member noticed I have several decent sized bruises on the middle of lower back. The pain and discomfort is causing issues at work due to not being able to move fast enough and get the numbers I need to reach. I have a hard time sleeping due to the pain and can only get about 2 to 3 hours a night. I don't know if this is anything serious, I'm just trying to get some input on what it might be. Greatly appreciated
