What Causes Pain While Taking Breath After Falling Down?
I fell going down my stairs this morning. i dont recall how i first landed but i seem to do somewhat of a backbend and hit my mid-upper back area with extremem force then my head flew back and hit the upper step. i am having trouble taking a deep breath without pain. i also had cervical fusion 2 years ago--should i head off the er or wait until the morning?
