A team of specialist doctors who examined his back after midnight at Gadwal, where Chandrababu is camping, said that he has suffered a sprain.
According to TDP sources, he was suffering from cramps following the fall he had last night. There was also a muscle sprain, they said.
Though Chandrababu wanted to continue with his foot march even today, he agreed to take a day's break on the advise of doctors as well as pressure from party leaders.
The former State Chief Minister suffered a minor injury in his back in a freak mishap when the dais from where he addressed a public meeting at Gadwal in Mahbubnagar collapsed suddenly late last night.
Soon after the incident, Chandrababu walked for about a kilometer but later gave up following severe pain in the back.
A team of doctors from Hyderabad rushed to Gadwal to conduct tests on the Leader of Opposition. An X-ray was taken after midnight to determine whether there was any fracture.
