i slipped and fell on water and landed like i was doing a split.i had xrays and mri on back and had xray of hips. no spinal cord injury but dr said it may be a aproblem with my musle of my hip. but im wondering if my legs could have muscle problems or could it be that L5 vertebrae was diminished. i am going to pt starting next week. this all happened about 3 months ago. thank you for your help.
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. 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.
