Hello everyone The other night I fell outside on the wheelchair ramp It was wet I was walking down the ramp when I slipped and fell I ended up hurting my back , leg and my shoulder. I have been hurting really bad ever since the fall I hope the pain eases soon.

Would it be a good idea to get to the ER and have things checked out just to be safe?..

That sounds like a horrible fall that may have caused some injury...
I hope you are able to get it double-checked to be safe...

Hi Tabby,

A fall that causes much pain has probably done more damage than you think. ER or doc visit a good idea.

Fell better,
Sis

Hi tabby. I'm sorry that you are in such pain and having a hard time, I also think you should get checked out to make sure nothing is broken. debby
