I jumped from the top of the stairs and landed on my back. I felt pain in my throat and neck. The back of my head and neck and back hurt. Should i go to the hospital? I know im stupid for jumping but i was being a stupid teenager. Im 17.

Answers:

I would free up the muscles in my back and neck to see if any pain was left over before I went running to the dr.'s office. Pains are usually from pinched muscles and freeing them up gets rid of the pains. If something remains in pain it should be looked at. Here's how to free up your back and neck muscles to get rid of pains in them:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about one minute, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. For both- for best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.



Natasha Richardson was an actress married to Actor Liam Neesom. While taking a beginning skiing lesson, she fell and hit her head on the snow. She seemed fine and refused medical attention twice. Later that nite she was taken to hospital complaining of headaches. She died 3 hours later from blunt force trauma to the head.

Yes, you should go to the dr now. Not only could you have a concussion but you could have damaged a nerve in your spinal column that could cause paralasys.



Yea you should probably go see a doctor or something...That was very stupid.
And by jumping off the TOP of the stairs and then landing at the BOTTOM...on your BACK.
That's just horrible xD
