Hi, I am 42 year old female. I was coming up stairs and just before clearing the last step, I tripped and fell onto the concrete landing. I tried to hold onto the railing to catch myself from falling only to fall hard onto my right side. Dr. said that I had sprained my whole right side virtually from my neck, back, shoulder and hip. It s been 2 months and my condition is not improving. I ve had e-rays that showed nothing. I ve gone through 15 sessions of PT. I ve been on light duty since my injury. Having done xtra walking last week at work, I ended up in bed all day last Friday. The weekend was rough. I went back to dr that Monday and was put on bed rest 2 days. Saw dr again today and symptoms are not consistent with the type of fall I had. Currently, my back fatigues very quickly and hurts constant, my mid back hurts like a ball is stuck in it, my hip throbs all the time and sometimes pain radiates down my leg on outer thigh and sometimes it radiates just below my buttock.
