Had a fall

Today I fell in my home, as a result now both my hands but specially my pinky fingers are hurting very much and I feel like needle picks on them, I hit my chin on the end of my sofa so I also have pain in my arms, neck and back, I wanted to find out if it was something serious that is going on.

I think you should get it checked out just in case you have damaged anything. Hugs and watch you don't have a flare because of the fall. Let me know how you get on darling.xxx

Any fall that has after effects should be checked over. Call & explain to your GP,& ask for an emergency Appoinment.

Hope you feel better soon.

I now wear my wrist supports as I fall quiet a lot even though I am very careful these days x

Hope you haven't caused too much damage but I agree you need to get checked out especially you have neck pain.

Do you know why you fell? I have fallen a couple of times due to a recent diagnosis, "Myopathy," part of the autoimmune disorders.

I think you should go and get yourself checked out. It all sounds very painful! What caused you to fall - did you trip up over something? Sending gentle hugs.

You should most definitely get it checked out. I fell in February and hurt my arm and shoulder badly. I couldn't lift my arm up after it but thought it would be better after a rest. I went to A & E the following day as it was no better and after X-rays and scans it was found I had ruptured two tendons in my shoulder. Then unbelievably just ten days later I fell again and ruptured a tendon in my other shoulder.

. I have been having a really bad time and haven't even been able to dress myself as I couldn't lift my arms up. I have seen the orthopaedic consultant and he has told me that the ruptures are too bad for them to be able to repair and that I will never get full use of my arms back. I have been doing the exercises given to me by the physiotherapist and can now lift my arms but they are still painful.

I hope you get some good treatment and are not in pain for too long Mac
