Florence, KY

I don't know who to see for what? I fell yesterday and I have bad bruises, a huge scrap and my back from the upper middle down to the middle of my rear end hurt. Sitting, laying and walking hurt.

Who do I have check me out? I guess I can call and ask my rheumatologist.

But I was just wondering how you all know who to go to for what?

I suppose seeing your rheumatologist for that would be best but I generally see the doctor I like most, which is my primary and if he thinks I should see a specialist, I do ..If you are having more than surface pain, maybe the rheumatologist, hope you feel better soon!.

So glad to know you didn't fracture or break anything. They say the bruising can be worse than the break. Hope you get better soon. Praying for you. Gentle hugs

I would go to my family Dr and he will know what to do. He will probably send you to get x rayed and go from there

Yep saw my gp. I had a lot of X-rays done. Good news, no fractures. He put me off work for at least a week. I'm still in pain and sore, then add the normal pain...
I'm just glad I don't have any fractures.

Thanks everyone
