((((((Sydney)))))),

I'm sorry this happened to you

I can't believe the incompetence of some medical personnel. Even *I* with my limited medical knowledge know that there should have been a better exam done. Especially because of the passing out.

I fell flat on my back once at work. The fire hose was leaking and flooded the hallway. I didn't see the water. Fell from the height of 2-inch high heels flat onto my back -- like being body-slammed by a wrestler. This was right around the time that I developed my fibromyalgia.

Needless to say, everything flared up. I was out of work for 6 weeks. Actually knocked a disc in my back out of line.

I'm glad you're going to the urgent care. You need someone "competent" to judge what kind of problems you're facing right now.

In the meantime, take real good care of yourself. Forget about cooking, cleaning, any of that stuff. Just take care of your SELF and your BODY.

I hope, I truly hope, that this fall doesn't flare everything up.

Gentle BIG HUGS.
