Falling down the stairs is a miserable experience, even if you do not feel it at the time it happen. You will feel it the next few days. I haven't been in this much pain for as long as I could remember. I don't even think my concussion generated this much pain. (probably because of the hydros) Don't fall down the stairs,it sucks.

That sucks how far was it I'm guessing by the sounds of it it was quite a bit. I'm riding that pain train to right now my legs are just cramped solid and chaffed like a SOB have a feeling I will be feeling this way for a while at least the next 2 weeks.

I fell backward and hit it hard. Standing at top and fell straight backward with nothing to slow down my fall. My upper neck and back hit the stairs directly as fast as I could fall backward. Thank goodness nothing was broken. I'm very lucky..

Ouch your lucky nothings broke but still be carefull I had a freak accident in highschool wiped out snowboarding went to the dr cuz my neck was stiff got x rays and they said I agravated a old fracture that I broke my neck 2 years befor in a car accident and never knew!

Ouch!! That does not sound like a fun thing to do.

I usually fall up the stairs either that or I miss that elusive last step and lose my balance but haven't fallen like you did, doesn't sound like a good time.

I've had knee surgery, broken leg, concussion, shoulder injury, bruised ribs, and this back injury top them all. It has been difficult trying to get in and out of my chair and lay comfortably in bed. I wish they have prescribed me a stronger pain killer. Oh well. Just be careful around stairs, folks. lol.

That stinks!Hope you feel better.

If you hit your back and neck that bad, I would recommend a good Chiropractor!

Consider yourself lucky. A buddy of mines friend fell down the stairs and became paralyzed, and passed away a couple years later from complications.
