I fell down the stairs yesterday, alot of pain today

[MsDisney23]

As I was bringing down the laundry a towel fell out of the basket, i tiped on it and down the stairs I went. No warning at all. I twisted my back, hit and scraped up my forearm ( through my clothes) landed on my elbow, twisted my left wrist. Oh what a mess. Home alone, I gather myself and the laundry up. Go into the kitchen and check myself over. OK no broken bones, Thank God. Lastnight dh rubbed me down real good with Ben-Gay. I did have a hard time sleeping.

Today I am very very sore with alot of pain. I am trying to keep myself moving as I do not want to get stiff. I have a regular Dr. appt. in the morning and will tell him that I fell. I feel like I have been hit my a truck.

Hope the pain goes away quickly!

OUCH! That is a very scary feeling, isn't it?!

I fell a couple of weeks ago. Slipped on wet tile and landed flat on my face. Had a scraped and bloody nose, bruised knee and elbow but didn't break anything, thank goodness.

Sounds like you were pretty "lucky" too. I know, it's hard to feel lucky when you're hurting but at least you weren't more seriously hurt. Especially considering you fell down stairs and were home alone. Yikes!

Hope you're feeling better soon!

You may want to put ice on your back, and other pain spots...that should help a little, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off... and if you can take tylenol (or something similar), that should help. Just past experience for me.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Wow, and lucky you are, MsDisney23, could have been a lot worse. Hope you feel better son.

I'm sorry to hear that. I fell a few weeks ago also, cleaning out the bathtub. I slipped and hit my leg really hard on the rim of the bathtub. I was in alot of pain, but every time i told someone i fell they just seemd to laugh at me. (I guess maybe no one excepts a 24year old to fall and hurt herself?) So I'm really sorry that you fell, and I hope that you're feeling better soon.

tricia.

ouchy I had a car accident back in 1999 where a truck drove over my car and was in terrible pain for3 weekswith my back and ibuprofin and a heating pad worked miracles. Also it won't hurt to call your doctor for some pain medication to hold you over.

Hope you feel better soon.

to what everyone else said. You should start to feel much better after a few days. If not, call the doctor. There are other ways to hurt yourself besides breaking a bone, disk problems in your back for instance.

I've always felt that falling after the age of 12 or so is a very undesireable event.

Hope you didn't hurt yourself internally, the Doc should check you out good for that! Feel better.

I'm glad there were no broken bones! I hope you are feeling better soon...

OUch, I can feel your pain.
I fell down the icy steps off the back porch two weeks before Christmas.
My left cheeck was purple until 2 weeks ago. Now I have a big dent where I hit the corner of the step. The Dr said I broke all the fat cells away when I fell.
Thinking about pouring some water on the steps and trying again for a different spot. It hurt, but I killed some fat cells. lol
I still have some pain in that area and some lingering pain down my left leg but the orthopedist said it was nothing to worry about. Peggie

OUCH. I hope you can get some rest tonight. Glad you didn't break anything.
