Answer #1

You really must get medical attention ASAP. You might have internal damage as well as your back being hurt. It doesnt take much to rupture some organs.

Answer #2

But rite now im in school I dont have a job and now some of my best friends heard a rumor and stopped being friends with me. I have a sling right now bcause my nextdoor neighbor used to be a nurse and splinted it up. I cant wear the sling to school bcause my mum wont let me. I am also beginning to feel some pain in my ankles. What should I do besides go to the doctor.

Answer #3

You need to go and get a x ray done, sounds to me like it could be broken or dislocated, either of which a sling can make it much worse if it is not set properly. Sorry about you not being able to afford it. I have to go when I can’t afford it too. But they have always worked out small payments with me. Good luck.

Answer #4

I agree with the 2 above me. For all you know you could be internaly bleeding, which can cause death.

Answer #5

well you need to find some way to go to the docters that sounds serious
