A member asked:

So i fell down a flight of stairs today, didn't really hit my head just landed on my side i feel fine but should i go to the doc just to make sure?

Probably not needed: As long as you are feeling ok, there is no need to automatically go to a doctor. You may be sore tomorrow, though. If you are concerned or if new symptoms occur, you can always visit your health care provider.
