AnswerTheseQuestions: So, what caused the fall?Trip on something?How many steps? Onto what?How did you land? Did you black out (before or after)?I hope your neck is OK but if it hurts, that's a red flag.What parts of your legs and back are bruised? You numb the whole or part of one side of your body? Can you walk?If you aren't feeling better after one day, or feel worse, get someone to take you to a doctor. Don't drive
