Back, Palm And Head Injury, Muscle Soreness, Headaches, Tightness In Abdomen. What Is Wrong?
I fell down the stairs yesterday and landed on my back and palm. I hit my head. Yesterday my coccyx and hand hurt all day but today I have a bad headache and muscle soreness in my shoulders and my abdomen is very tight and painful, as if I did a workout yesterday. Is that all from the fall even though I landed on my back?

hello,
thank you for consulting HCM.
The symptoms you have mentioned are due to the injury you had as you fell on your back you have strained a lot and your muscles will got contractions so that may be the reason for your pain.But coming to the headache you need to have a ct scan as the headache may be a sign of raised ICP.As you mentioned you have tight and painful abdomen you have to have an USG scan too to rule out any internal injuries without delay.Thank you.
