LUCKY OR NOT?

I was feeling great over the holidays, mentally and physically. About 2 WEEKS ago, I fell down 13 hardwood stairs, feeling each bang on the way down. When I think about what could have happened, I am indeed lucky. Somehow, I made it up the stairs and back into bed. I saw no discoloration until the second day, but now I am completely bruised from left hip to back of knee.

I can do anything, but took the caution of having an inclinator installed on my stair case. Big help and feel more secure. I can walk up and down the stairs, but the inclinator gives me a sense of security. And got it at a good price.

Two questions; Should I up my Prednisone? Now at 4 mg. Would that help? Should I have the lumps drained? Need a surgeon for that. ?

Have been using Arnica gel, CBD oil externally. Now back in bed too much.

Any thoughts? Thanks very much.
