[|Human|] I fell yesterday while holding my 2-month-old granddaughter cradled in my right arm. Once I realized I d lost my footing, I twisted my body to keep her on the up side and I must have landed flat on my left side. I got up quickly and though the baby let out a little cry, it was from the shock of the fall and she seems to be fine. I m so thankful. Fairly quickly, my right waist band area, where I was cradling her, began to hurt. We sat in the rocker and rocked a little and the baby is fine. My right side started hurting and my daughter arrived home from work within 10 minutes or so. I left quickly and went to my chiropractors office. Once I waked to the car, I could feel something sharp on my right side hurting me. I can press on it and it s not the spine, but more soft tissue between my pelvis and my rib cage. The chiropractor massaged and adjusted me slightly then added ice and stems unit. He thought I may have bruised an area between the ribs as he says that is very painful. I was no better and when I got home, I could barely walk. Raising my left leg or using my right arm hurt the worst, so I scuffed along groaning in pain. It s definitely one spot along the waistband, but internally and not the skin or a bruised area. It s part of my core because when I lift my left leg, it hurt it or when I push with my right arm, it hurts it. Luckily, I just had surgery three weeks ago and had many hydrocodone left, so I took one and some ibuprofen and sat in my laz-y-boy for awhile and then went to bed. I slept well and when I woke up, was much better though I can tell the danger zone is still there. The pain last night was very sharp and definitely worsened by some movements. The pain today is better but I m just resting and taking it very easy. I would go to the ER, but we had 6 of snow, and there s no way I can shovel show. I ve asked my neighbor for help and he has a few houses ahead of me. I will just wait it out. Too bad... the satellite is covered in snow too and I can t get out there to brush it off. lol
[|AI|]  Hello, As you had a fall, what I understand with the history is that there will be direct impact over the muscle which would have got swollen in the fiber region of the muscular system. Also during cold seasons, there are changes to have that area getting feeling some kind of knot at the pain region. I feel this should be just a muscle and bony hurt which will become better in 3-4 days or max by a week. You need to take a hot water fermentation and also do much rest. Avoiding movement in injuries allows tissue to heal better. I don't feel this is a major injury. But in case after a week or so the pain don't subside with hot water fermentation and rest than feel free to ask me other questions. We will be able to figure out what could have been the injury level. But for time being I don't think you need to visit an ER. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Jay In Chat Doctor.
