Specializes in Pain Management

Urgent care tonight: This sounds like it was a pretty bad fall. You can't be entirely sure how badly you might have injured yourself. Is it possible to get someone to take you to urgent care or ER tonight? I suggest this not to alarm, but because your health is the most important to you. Good luck.
