A member asked:

I fell down the stairs and banged my back really hard it made me sick and have had headache and stomach pains since?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an md: It may just be a bruised back but if you are nauseated and have abdominal pain I would worry about internal damage to one of your organs, particularly your spleen. The headache is most likely a concussion which should be evaluated too.
