since i fell last thursday I have hurt all over. butthe last day or so I've been having excruciating, and I mean the crying type pain, under my arms, breasts, and sides. I am so sore I can barely get a bra on.
did i mention myback is numb from shoulder to waist. can't sleep because I can't lay on back or sides.
I think I've rebroken those ribs. boy this hurts. course I'm going mental thinking I should be buying a headstone...
falls are definitely not good when you're my age.

That's too bad - did you go for x-rays, at least to see whether any bones were impacted by the fall? If not, it'll be soft tissue healing and it takes time. You could possibly consider seeing a chiropractor too.
There's a Chinese martial arts liniment that can help with bruise pain - it's called Zheng Gu Shui - I think it's a mix of some herbs. Works very well to take down tissue pain.

I'm calling my doctor on monday. I don't have the money for another er visit.
I hope it's not a collapsed lung or something.
I'm kind of scared.

hey, I took a cruise months ago and paid payments. plus I got a two for one. that cruise was in november of last year. that was the only thing I did last year.
driving to ohio to take care of a sister was no vacation. I worked my ass off and then came home to take care of husband with a torn muscle in his back and bedridden for weeks. so I deserved that cruise and thanks to celebrity for giving me a deal.
I haven't been out of this house and have no travel planned for the rest of the year.
last er visit cost hundreds of dollars copay. but I had to go. malignant hypertension is not something you can deal with at home. total visit was almost 20 grand...
so yeah, I don't have the money....
