falling

[JanetLaVerne]

My question is, I fell on the ice last nigt. My feet went straight out from in front of me and landed very hard on my butt. My back and my whole core is hurting very bacd. I have had 4 back surgeries. One of them was a fusion. I am moving around really good, painful but good.  Can something still be broken at the same time.  I have tried sleeping and that is not well. I only sleep about an hour.My body is hurting up in my shoulders also. Could something be broken and I don't knw it. Should I sitll go be x rayed?  I will wait to hear from you.
Thank you so much,
Janet Myers

If the pain has not improved yet, I would go to a doctor. It's expected to have pain and soreness after a fall but if it does not improve than you should get it checked out.

Hello!

You should completely rest for couple of days. Apply warm and cold compress on your back and also take NSAIDs to decrease your pain and inflammation.

If symptoms continue then you would need some X-ray scans and a follow up with an orthopedician.

Take care!
