I fell down a flight of steps

Holy cow, that's dreadful! I'm so sorry you had an accidental fall...but, I'm glad that the outcome wasn't far worse! It's not a silly post at all. You know we all care about each other!

Have you seen a Doctor or Chiropractor to ensure everything is in working order?

Not being able to sit or lie down would be terrible. I tend to get dizzy, too, when standing for too long. If only you had something that was tall, slanted, and cushioned that you could lean against. How about one of those velcro suits and a carpeted wall like David Letterman used to use on his show?!?

I do hope you're okay and feel better soon! Keep us posted!

Hugs to you 😢 I hope you feel better soon

Pk, were you dizzy while standing too long prior to your fall? So sorry (really) this happened to you. The outcome could have been so much worse. Do you think you should get checked out for any injuries? Big hugs.

Oh my goodness sake.... this is horrible.

I am sure your bruised a lot of places, but maybe a doc should check you out.

Rescue remedy, japanese knotweed for the inflammation, lots of ice and rest. I like Arnica personally.

I use Young Living Essential Oil blend called Panaway for aches and pains.

I'm so sorry PK. I got really concerned when I didn't hear back from you the last time.. Falling at our age or even younger takes a long time to 'un'-bruise our insides and out. Are the pain meds helping at all?

Sounds like you've at least badly bruised your back. The other med besides the one you have is skelaxin. It really helped my back muscles 14 years ago when I fell down my porch steps and flipped to my back on the side walk. I got an ambulance ride for that one. I was unable to move anything. When we have any trauma to the body, sometimes the muscles around the area spasm hard and refuse to relax.

Not being able to put your body anywhere without so much pain is a nightmare.
The only think I can suggest is a whole bunch of foam pillows piled in such a way to make a halfway upright reclining position, with a round pillow at the back of your neck. Takes pressure of our weight off of crucial areas.

Oh pk ..oh no...take care of your self ...cold then hot
