Ask the one that typed this question to get you another gumball, give you a couple aspirin and you call me in the morning when you get up, and let me know how thing turned out.

Ok you either bruised the bone or you have a heel spur; or both!  Maybe you had a heel-spur and it broke off when you fell. OR..you may have cracked your heel, which no orthopedic doc can do anything about..no cast or anything.   Only way to know is see a doc and have an xray.  Otherwise, soak in ice, take asiprin for inflammation with food, and grit your teeth.

That has happened to me before. With my ex-boyfriend. And boy did i learn from that mistake. Sometimes we can't ask others for advice on these things. We just have to live it through and learn from it. If you've got some friends who will help you pick you up when you fall down then you'll probably recover eventually. I know i did.

First of all, don't exercise through pain. It is better to give yourself a rest for a while. But if the pain becomes stronger, contact your doctor immediately! It can be too serious if you don't!

You might have bruised some nerves as well.  When that happens you will experience the numbness and tingly sensations you discribe.  If you are 100% certain that nothing is broken then all you can do is wait it out.  If you are really concerned, call your doctor for an exray to make sure you didnt get a hairline fracture of any kind.  I had that when I broke my wrist and it took a while for all the feeling to return.  So long as your fingers are not turning blue then you really have no serious concerns at the moment.  If after say a week and you still have no feeling then you really need to see the dr. to make sure no further damage was done.  Good luck.

I think you should go to another doctor in the morning just to ease your mind. It could be a pulled muscle but it could also be to do with your heart. Don't be scared but it is better to be sure than sorry. Never mind the doctor who passed it off, he has nothing to lose....there is only one Gilly so get a second opinion. You seem to take care of yourself so I am sure it is just a strain, or something to do with your workout, but no putting it off Gilly have it sorted tomorrow and then you can forget about it and enjoy the weekend. You will be alright. God bless x.

I'm sorry for what you've had to undergo. I broke my back (L1, L3 & L4) several years ago in an auto accident. As a result, I had burning sensations in my lower back & leg. I know it's not a natural or alternative therapy, but my Doctor prescribed a medicine called Elavil or amytriptoline that blocks out that burning sensation. I was on that for several years & then switched over to another medicine called Neurontin which also blocks nerve damage pain. Good luck.

call the social helpline or see a counsellor.\nyou are still young. its gonna be a long way down the road of life and no harm asking for professional help when you have fallen and dont know how to get up.

Go to the doctor. Your back and neck are too important to neglect. That's where all your nerves originate. You may have a slipped disk in your neck, and that could pinch a nerve. Don't bother with chiropractors. My friend's mother had back pain for a year, and she kept going to the chiropractor. When she finally went to a doctor, she found out that she had spinal cancer.

You could have sprained it, did it swell at all? If it did, take some pain killers and try not to use it that much.  The other thing I that I can think of is carpel tunnel syndrome, do you use the computer a lot?

LOL!! this is great. Whenever we are told, DON'T do something isn't it funny how it triggers are curiosity and we do it anyway. \n\nI had a spinal epidural done for a ruptured disk. The first thing the doctor told me when they wheeled me into the room is don't look back at what I am doing. \n\nWELL I looked back and saw this HUGE NEEDLE. I almost fainted when I saw it, the needle was LONG , he said , I told you not to look back, this has to go all the way into your spine. THat was the worst experience ever. I was ready to faint by the time the procedure was over because I was visualizing this huge needle working its way into my spine. \n\nDon't look down\nDon't look back \nDon't go in there\n\n\nooooooooooooooooooh :( they say curiosity kills the cat. :( Poor little cat. LOL!! He's fine ;) He's next to me wanting a bite of my ham sandwich :D

"don't THINK it was broken" Get it looked at by someone who can help know for sure and make sure everything else is OK- minor medical clinic, school nurse, ER, whatever.\n\nMost minor crush injuries (no bone damage, minimal tissue damage) can be dealt with with asprain or other pain reliever, a basic ice program (a few minutes on, longer time off to 'rest', a few minutes on...) to relieve pain and swelling, and not using the injured part.\n\nThe catch to this is that there certainly may be some other issues involved that should be looked at. Do a doctor visit soon and avoid furture problems.

Have you been doing anything before it happened. Think about it. You could have a pinched nerve or something else so go see your doctor. He can check it and see if it is something major or something little. Good Luck

I have had lower back pain that just suddenly knocks me off my feet and hurts for days, but never a throbbing pain. After being checked out a few times, doctors have concluded that I am under stress,  or I pinched a nerve, or I was lifting something wrong, but they can't point to anything physically wrong. It has cost me a lot of money to hear the words, "I don't know..." I usually just take some Dones back pills, and as soon as I can hot showers and the pain goes away in 3 or 4 days.\n\nThe last time my back went out, I was tighing my shoelace. The weight of the shoelace must have caused me to stress out and I pinched a nerve.

I may be way off base with this, but I had a friend who had a similar problem.  They got the problem when they started lifting heavy weight.  One time (and there wasn't any pain during the incident), they lifted something and it tore the tissue in their tail bone.  Same symptoms, when they sneezed, sat, or sqautted down and picked things up, it hurt them.  It's something to look into, at least.
