I slipped on some ice about a month ago. It took 3 weeks to heal completely. You might wanna go to the doctor just to be safe than sorry. I wish I had went. I couldnt move at all.
i think you have never heard of the words healing and medic ?????
u have severely brusied this area. its gona take a few days to stop hurting tho. but if it gets any worse 2mz den go to ur doctor!! good luck! by da way im sure ur be able to get down to wateva 2mz.lol. it will make u feel better anyway!lol.
dont use only heat, u should ice it even though it isnt as comfortable, heat may increase swelling/pain... you could get painkillers but it might make you too loopy to enjoy the day tomorrow, better to take less and kill some pain with less side effects.
You need to go to the doctor. You hit your lower back which could affect your spine.
Take care of yourself 1st. There will be lots of times for going out. This is only 1 time.
I slipped years ago and fell hard on a sidewalk. I did not go to the doctor and it messed me up. I had serious pain for years afterwards and it has gone down since I have been treating it.
Go see what your doctor says.
I too just like Ann hurt myself, slipped in the snow and flew off of our deck. Went to ER but dumb doc did not xray back only L hip, said if able go back to work in 5 days. Anyway the point of this is that my back WAS broken and i being a nurse think "Oh it will get better" i should have listened to my body not my mind, i did not go back to ER but back to work sad sad deal, this was March 30 2006 and i still am not able to work, play, get down to business with hubby. Go get yourself checked out, it is definately worth knowing what you actually did to yourself, you could have fractured or jammed your sacrum, the very last "vertebrae" in your back, this hurts immensely. If i had gone to doc 2nd time there were things that could have been done. Please just do it, it is NOT worth your health to "have fun" for one or two days.
