Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

You did not mention that what are the problems you are suffering from slipping on water & also age. If you are having pain in the body then it is because of the splash over water. In most of the cases it does not cause any harm apart from generalized body pain & ache. I would suggest you to take following measures:
> Use oil and get your body massaged.
> Avoid heavy activity which will use force.
> Take acetaminophen for pain.
> Try to keep physical activity like walk.

Signs of worry requiring hospital assistance :
> Altered state
> Loss of consciousness
> Decreased/loss of muscle activity of any specific area.
> Any unusual symptom

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy
to answer your questions. If you do not have any clarifications, you can
close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wishing you good health.
