10 days post op, just fell down my stairs. Ouch!

[JosieJ 11]

I don't know what I was thinking. My hands were full of a bunch of small things, nothing heavy. My stairs are circular and the last 5-6 at the bottom are more narrow toward the railing. I know this! I know to stay by the wall so you have more foot room but I just wasn't paying attention and my foot slipped and down I went. Did I mention one of the things was a Protein Shake? All over me, the walls, the stairs...ugh. It didn't immediately hurt it was just more of a startle but I'm starting to feel a little sore now. Hopefully nothing is hurt and I'll just be sore for a few days. I'm wondering if I should take some tylenol just in case, to kind of stay ahead of any pain? Thoughts?

bless! I have a vision deficit that has led me to a number of falls on stairs. I feel for ya! they can be rough on the bum. and you can't even take an epsom salts bath! well you could if you only let the Water get up to your thighs. but there's not much fun in that.

if it were me, I'd probably take a tylenol. I hope there's someone around who could maybe clean up the mess for you.

My Doctors office told me I could take tylenol when I mentioned I am still having muscle pain from surgery so I would bet you can too.

Aww poor thing... last thing you need in extra pain.

Check that your incisions are okay.

Like others have said... tylenol is safe... you could also have a warm shower and give your muscles a massage when you lather... a hot Water bottle on the painful parts will help too...
