A member asked:

Slipped and fell on the stairs outside and fell on my back i can walk and move but it's very painful i even heard a pop sound should i just watch it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See MD: A 'popping' sound is often associated with a ruptured tendon or ligament. It is very painful to walk, i think you should be seen at an urgent care center, your primary care doctor or an orthopedist.
