A member asked:
My mom fell down the stairs and is now complaining of back and chest pain what should she do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go To ER or Doctor: Anyone who has fallen down the stairs and is complaining of back and chest pain should be seen as soon as possible by a doctor. Considering the age posted for you, it would make your mother at a much higher risk for injury and she needs to be seen now. Call the paramedics, if necessary.
