FELL DOWN STEPS/SHOULD I HAVE MY LEG CHECKED OUT!

AGAIN, THIS ISN'T THE FORUM for this!....but i know all of you better and i really have no idea where to post this! okay so this morning DH,DS, and i were on our way out to wal-mart and as i was coming off the steps i slid and caught my heels on the steps and i went rolling down the steps and hit my son's tonka truck and it flipped up and hit me in the neck(but that just left a blood blister) my concern is my leg! i hit my knee and shin pretty hard! my knee and shin both are swelled and bruised badly and my foot and the lower part of my leg keeps tingling and sometimes goes numb for a few minutes!  the swellled area on my shin is maybe as big around as my fist and it is raised maybe and inch......my mom told me to go get it checked but dh, dad, and my brother keep telling me thats its fine! WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????

I can SOO relate...I have days like that.  Those are the days when you just wanna crawl back into bed and beg to start over lol.  Hope you're feeling better today :)

thanks...lol thats exactly what i did......my poor body aches....i must just be accident prone today because dh and i decided to take my lil man to the park and i ended getting hurt again not once but twice.....i went to open up the car door and as i did DS ran toward me and i didnt want him to run into the door so i closed it a bit but when i did that my ahnd slipped off the door handle and Bamm there goes my other hand (it was on the door facing) luckily it didnt close all the way!  while we were at the park i went to pick up DS to put him in the swing and as i did he jumped up and busted my mouth with his head and now i have a fat lip today......i actually have to laugh about it all.......TODAY JUST WASN'T MY DAY.............LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If YOU feel that something is abnormal...beyond the usual bruising/swelling from an injury ...then I would definately have it checked out. Compromise with mom and dad,dh and bro....tell em if it's not better by say tomorrow midday you're have it looked at.
