I fell down stairs,went to er and thankfully everything was fine.a whole 24 hrs later my entire body hurts, arm swollen.how long could this last?thanx

Mgt: Sometimes this occurs after a bad fall. I would advise close follow up, reporting any persistent or worsening symptoms. If you would like to schedule a virtual consult at Healthtap, having your medical information available is helpful. Take NSAID if you don't have any reason not to take this medication and apply heat to the most affected areas. With time, hopefully you will feel better

Myalgias: It sounds like you have deep bruising of your musculoskeletal system. Fortunately, the ER doctors did not find any severe injuries. Depending on the extent of injury, you may have pain for days to weeks. Acetaminophen or medications such as Ibuprofen may help with this type of discomfort.
