I did the same thing a good few years ago and thought it would be ok, I delayed doing anything about it for a good 24 hours, went to casualty and ended up in bed flat on my back for 7 days, I'd chipped a bone in my coccis and fractured a bone in the base of my spine too, please go to the hospital and get checked out, better to be safe than sorry, good luck.

Answer 3

You sound totally shook up - poor thing. Go have a nice long soak in the bath and take a paracetamol and go to bed! See how you feel in the morning. If you get any dizziness I think you ought to called NHS Direct (assuming you are in the UK)

Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Answer 4

Go to hospital and et checked out. You may have injuries and the fact you're feeling sick doesn't sound good.

Answer 5

Hey go to casualty and have yourself checked out. Must admit I like watching people in Casualty there is some interesting cases.
