I fell!

[crazybeautiful]

OUCH! I slipped on some snow and took a faceplant yesturday afternoon. I didn't feel anything at first, and luckilyI had a massage appointment last night so she worked on the spots I'd fallen on.


I fell right over onto my stomach/arms/face. I didn't hit my face, but my neck jerked up I guess because today I'm absolutely aching!


Both my arms are completely sore, my neck is killing me and my legs even hurt a bit! Is there anything I can do here? I had a hot bath yesturday and a massage and just took an extra strength advil.


I have to go out today, and tommorow (I hope I'll be better!) I have to work.


I'm such a klutz!

Is there anything I can do here?

invest in some golf shoes for next time?[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img] hehe, sorry

I don't think there is much you can do, If you think you're just sore and bruised, then you might just have to wait it out - good old ibuprofin is good for swelling and aching.

maybe you should take a trip to the ER to make sure you haven't pulled any muscles? feel better!!

I remember once when I was in 8th grade I was walking out of the house down the front pathway and I slipped and fell on my back, HARD. (It was on the ice in winter) OMG That hurt! All I can suggest is a hot bath or heating pads. I've fallen down so many times and I've hit my head so many times it's not even funny!

Oh damn...I am sorry and I hope you are feeling ok...You sound just like me...A week ago I fell down my stairs.


Massage always makes things better

WOW! I hope you're feeling better hun!

We all have our klutz days lol - just yesterday I jammed my foot in the car door - I mean, who the hell gets their foot caught in the door? Fingers or jacket maybe! But foot? Seriously? lol!

feel better and keep well rested!

Oh my--so sorry!! I don't like to see people fall, it always makes me sad.


I am a world-class clutz, who comes from a family of clutzes, so my best advice is massages and hot baths. I couldn't even make pasta sauce last night without getting red dots all over my WHITE shirt! Hubby just looked at me and rolled his eyes.[img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img]


Hope you're "all better" soon!!

I know how you feel!! I fell last week at Kroger (grocery store) I was walking in, I was all by myself, and I fell flat on my face. Everyone rushed over to me, I was so embarassed!!

[grelvia]

I'm glad to hear that you didn't break anything, well at least it sounds like that. I hope you feel better soon!

Ouch indeed! I have my real clutzy moments too, I fell over the other month late one night and twisted my ankle - nextmorning it had ballooned to twice the size and I couldn't walk on it! Only me to blame though - too many glasses of wine! [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]


Only thing I can recommend is warm relaxing baths with a bit of radox added and ibuprofen for the pain.


The thing I hate most about falling is the embarassment of it! [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]


I hope you're feeling better soon! Oh and just one more thing, what is a faceplant?
