Question 1

can pe tubes fall backward into the head instead of into the ear canal?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I have seen this once in 15 years... It happens but highly unlikely.

Question 2

why do i always fall backwards?

Accepted Answer

Too vague: If there is not an obvious reason,ask you doctor to refer to physical therapy for abnormal gait and assessments

Question 3

when people faint, is it normal to fall forwards or backwards?

Accepted Answer

It varies: When a person faints he/she can fall forward, backward, to the side or simply collapse down to the ground.

Question 4

chondromalaia  patelle why does my knee  go backward allnost  fells like i'm  going  to fall why?

Accepted Answer

Knee instability: It is very common for patients with chondromalacia patella to develop symptoms of the knee giving out.  When the body senses pain in the kneecap joint, there is a reflexive inhibition of of the quadriceps muscle (the muscle shuts down momentarily) and the knee feels that it collapses or gives way.

Question 5

can retrolisthesis be corrected after a fall injury?
i took a bad tumble in '85. if i understand it means your vertabra have slid backwards on each ot

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Fusion would be indicated if there is instability . This would have to fit certain criteria. Not likely that you would have instability over 25 years. Also mild retolisthesis is usually an incidental finding not associated with symptoms.

Question 6

two weeks ago, a guy friend tried to make me fall backwards. he pushed me back and downwards. i heard a pop and since then my lower back hurts a bit?

Accepted Answer

Back injury: A pop in the back as a result of an injury is not very specific in and of itself. It may be a sign of fracture but it may have been a sharp twist of a muscle or ligament. If your pain has been improving and you have no troubles walking, moving your bowels or emptying your bladder, numbness/tingling, i would watch and if completely cleared, no follow up is needed.

Question 7

i took a weird fall in may off a bench. the lower part of my leg, went a weird left, while my body fell backwards, so my knee took a weird twist. now, it hurts when i stable on it from sitting. help..

Accepted Answer

Knee sprain or damag: It sounds like it could be some sort of damage to your knees. It varies from minor sprained ligaments which will resolve with rest but if it persists, it can suggest more structural problem like damaged meniscus or torn ligaments which will need orthopedic surgery evaluation. Can first get an X-ray of your affected knee to start.

Question 8

i slipped and fell down stairs backward. right lower back (waist area) hurts on/off. pain moves to front stomach/waist area. had exact fall last year.

Accepted Answer

Pelvic girdle injury: The mechanism and pain pattern suggest pelvic girdle injury.  Look for pink urine that would reflect kidney injury.  Pain that radiates to the lower leg would suggest lumbar disk injury.  Pelvic injury often has associated sciatica with radiation down the same side buttock and posterior thigh.

Question 9

took a backwards fall onto a concrete floor..right side landed on rounded piece of steel, no blood in urine but still strong kidney pain 3 weeks later?

Accepted Answer

Not from kidney: Likely to be from some injury in the back 3 weeks ago- please have it checked.

Question 10

what would the cause be of bruising under my eye the morning after a fall backwards with no trauma to the eye?

Accepted Answer

Hitting nose or face: If you hit your nose or face, this could cause it. Many times, we are so busy falling that we don’t recall what else could have impacted.  Also, if you are being abused, get help. If you fell while intoxicated, talk to your doctor.  An isolated impact to the back of your head would not cause bruising to your face
