Had a fall on 26.2.2024. Quite a bad fall, backwards, in the toilet. The oncologist had warned me not to fall down during the earlier period of my cancer treatment as my bones could not withstand the impact of the fall and will break in many parts. Somehow I managed to put my left hand on my back to protect my spine. I could not move for a while and the oncologist's warning caused fear in me as I thought my bones and left hand had broken.
After this ordeal I did not feel any pain in any part of my body. What a surprise as I expect to feel pain all over my body. After one week still no pain. On the 2nd week slight pain on my back and pelvic area. Eventually the pain become more intense. After my Google, I understand that in a hard fall the brain will take some time to assess the "damage". Sometime it will be weeks before the nerve will send the pain signal down to the body.
One month after the fall my neck, shoulder blades, both side of my ribs and pelvic area hurt so much that it is terrible to lie down to rest/sleep. Now walking is a problem because of the pain.
I wonder what else will happen after this.
