Ouchies, Kaz. I've done that before but usually only with two steps and could usually catch myself or someone is close enough to catch me. (((((hugs)))))

I guess it really does highlight how much I need a flat. If I'd been home alone I would have been stuck there for ages.

most defo ouch,
this will cheer you up...lol, i've fallen a couple of times aswell the best one was when i thought i was on the last step (my mind elswhere as usual) and went to turn to my door only to discover i was actually 3 steps higher, hit the floor with a loud bang whole house shook...lol, to make it even worse i'm middle terrace, everyone run out thinking it was an earthquack....lol lol
big (((((hugs)))))... you rest up now...

Nope, no camcorder, dawn, sadly lol. Who'd have thought a sneeze could cause all that LOL.

The walking stick has taken one hell of a battering the last year or so, I think it might be time to get a new one as it's clinging on for dear life LOL.

No hole in stairs or damage to radiator thankfully PMSL And the mug that was in my left hand (hence the reason I was using my forearm on the handrail - that and I have trouble holding the rail) survived intact, I was still clutching it PMSL

Ann, I'd love a hot bath but can't get in or out and the shower would work but not sure how well I could wash myself with my left side all strained.

I'm using the heat pad and trying to keep gently moving so I don't stiffen right up.

Luckily I did manage to get back up the stairs a few hours later so that I could use my lap top and recover on my bed.

ouch ouch ouch, have fallen down stairs before (more than once) so know how you feel.

Now did you catch in on camcorder cos you could make some dosh out of it on Youve been framed.

D xx

P.S forgot to ask hows the walkinjg stick not hurt I hope.

Sorry you are suffering Liz, hope you feel better soon, maybe a hot bath or shower would help. good job when you get a place without stairs!

any chemist or health shop and they will tell you if you can use it there but i dont see why not

LOL Marion, at least if I'd been tiddly I wouldn't have felt it so bad LOL.

Julia, not sure where would get it from and if the armpit is a good place to put it with all the sweat glands there.

Have just whacked my heat pad on my sore bits.

bless you lol

hope you feel better soon

get some arnica cream it will bring out the bruise quicker

I was going downstairs for breakfast etc and sneezed, lost my balance and fell down 5 or 6 stairs. Was held up by my armpit on the hand rail... as you can imagine, have badly bruised said armpit and can't raise my left arm, have also strained all down my left arm. Fortunately the clatter of my walking stick hitting the radiator at the bottom alerted mum and dad.

Mum said we'll be the death of her. Have taken nurofen and codeine so I've maxed my pain killers but it doesn't seem to be helping a great deal.

Watching the ice skating on BBCi, which I probably wouldn't have discovered was on if I hadn't fallen.

Numpty or what, only me could be floored by a sneeze!
Your sympathy and humorous (good-natured) teasing is appreciated :-) ;-)
