Really bad fall!!!!!
 
Well in one fall over the weekend I managed to hurt every bad part of my body!! Only I could accomplish this! Arggggg!!! I thought I was on even ground when I wasn't and my left ankle(where CRPS started) hit a hole and went sideways. I fell towards the right, lost my footing and twisted my right ankle, hit my right hip then landend hard on my very injured right wrist! I can barely walk and when I do it is so horrible I want to scream! I only do it cuz I'm a single mom and I have to. I haven't told anyone cuz I'm afraid of the comments they will say to me. I know I shouldn't but I want to put ice on my ankles so bad. I just can't take this pain anymore!!!!!!!

Go to a doctor and get that ankle and hip checked out!! What if you have a fracture? You shouldn't be trying to walk on it.

I agree with Lottie. Go to a doctor asap and get checked out. I hope you feel better soon. Take care.

Ditto - you need to get checked out asap!!

Hope you are feeling better real soon!

Hi

Soft hugs, so sorry for your pain. I did not get a chance to read any replies, sorry. Do you have a pain management doc you could see and help get you through the rough patch? Do you have any lidocaine patches or anything that helps take the sting out so to speak?

You may want to beef up on your vitamin C right away, just for prevention and healing.

Soft, kind hugs

A fall like that is definitely worth a trip to the doctor to get checked out. I hope you feel better soon...take care of yourself. Hugs.

Oh no! I'm so sorry.

I actually fell down a flight of stairs on Monday night. I TOTALLY understand the hurting everywhere! What's worse is last week my Rheumatologist told me to avoid stairs ( I have something going on with my knee now and the knee cap us sliding out of place).

My sister asked if I needed to go to the doctor and get some X-ray's done. I said well see in a couple days. Some times I think it is hard to gauge pain, swelling, etc. When I am on so much medication already.

Hope you are feeling better.

Sorry everyone for not getting back sooner. I was just burnt out and pretty much shut down. I seriously slept all weekend which is like a miracle! lol Anyway, I did go to a doctor and I do not have a fracture. So I guess it is just suck it up. :( Thank you for all your concerns and thoughts!

Angelina55 07-21-2014 06:07 AM

I do need to get some Vitamin C but right now I can't afford it. I am hoping I can figure something out though.

It is hard to tell if it is painful because something is wrong or if it is just the CRPS. But it never hurts to get it checked out. Better safe than sorry!

Glad nothing is broken!!

thanks for the followup! Feel better soon! Get your vitamin C from fresh fruit and veggies, this is a great time of year for that!
