    Default This Is Why You Should Scrape Your Stairs

    I was going out to the gym, all happy and such, get out my front door, and blam - my feet fly up about waist level, together, my hands go up, and I land on my ass right on the corner edge of a concrete stair with no catching myself at all. Then I slid down the other two. It's the first time I've actually cried from an injury in years, luckily my BF heard me and helped me. I'm expecting a huge bruise and I have to walk like a granny, I can't stand up.

    Moral: Scrape your steps or you'll have to spend the day on the floor on your belly with your laptop!

    Yup. I thought it was slush, but there was a layer of ice underneath I couldn't see, and combined with no traction running shoes I went straight up.

    You also can throw salt on them if the ice is too thick to scrape. Sorry you fell, sounds painful. I hope you're ok. Maybe now your boyfriend will get out there before you're ready to leave and make sure your walkway is cleear. Damn winter!

    Yeah he scraped and iced them right after he got me out of my wet clothes and into warm ones, a blanket and an ice pack haha. I'm just wondering if I broke something. It's right on the fleshy area above one ass cheek, but if I stand up straight, or touch it in anyway, it hurts severly, like someone is driving and twisting a knife in there.

    I hope your tailbone isn't shattered or cracked. That happens when you fall on your ass after your feet come out from under you. You'll have a hard time getting in and out of sitting positions if so for a long time. Take ibuprofen with plenty of water and after food to minmize sweeling and reduce pain. Sorry...OUCH!

    I'm going out to salt my bridge right now since it gets real slippery and there's lotsa ice out there now..I don't wanna fall too.....no fun.

    ouch. this just gave me a flash back of a few weeks ago when i fell UP the stairs. only i was at work, and carrying 3 big plates. so when i tripped i smashed the food and caught all my weight right in the middle of each knee on the edge of cement stairs.

    i too was gimpy for a while. i hope you didn't break anything! take care
    i may have lost my virginity, but i still have the box it came in.

    It was really bad yesterday, could only stay on my belly, got worse over night (I was like constantly crying and I have a high pain tolerance) and then this morning it was really bad. I got some Vicodin, and it's allowing me to walk but I still can't touch the area or sit down fully. I'm hoping it will go away on it's own in a few days.

    x-ray maybe?

    side note: my sister cracked her 'ass' (as i so call it) on the ski slopes once... maybe you should have an x-ray to check out what's going on with it in case it's worse than you think.
