SERIOUS MEDICAL ADVICE NEEDED.

Here's the short story because I'm panicking really bad right now.

About 14/15 hours back slipped and fell down the stairs, maybe 6/7 steps in total. I landed on my ass and my tailbone is killing me, not only that my upper back is tight gives me some pain.

I'm panicking because my left arm has gone pretty numb, like it's not getting blood numb.

>fell down stairs
>landed on ass
>tailbone feels fractured
>feel like I have compression fracture in spine
>arm numb (left arm)

I have no lift to the hospital also

>>

it's important to try to stay calm in the mean time

>best case
you probably traumatized a nerve
mom did that once on her index finger
>it was numb for a year, then tingled for a year before it got back to normal


>worst case
you severed the nerve and will not regain sensation
>>
>>17516719
... I fucking severed my nerve... Fuck sake
>>
>>17516702

Call a friend or relative, have them bring you to a hospital
>>
>>17516722
I'll try, I'm pretty much invisible to ppl but I'll try
>>
>>17516721
traumatized and severed nerves are pretty much the same in terms of not feeling anything, but maybe you did
>>
>>17516721
When I severed a nerve in my arm it didn't feel like the tingling of no blood flow. It just straight felt dead when I touched it. Like I was touching someone else. Either way I'm not a doctor. Go on Friday if it's the best you can do.
>>
>>17516729

Good, I hope it's nothing extremely damaging.
>>
>>17516750
just when I get little ahead in life this shit happens, I'll have to try and not fuck my body up until Friday I guess. Fukkkkk I want to die, fuck life
>>
>>17516754
No responses :/// it seems I'll have to w8 till Friday
>>
>>17516763
>pence
don't you pay like 50% of your income as taxes to your commie government so they can give you virtually everyone for free? why not call an ambulance?
>>
>>17516763
I'm not sure about your country but there might be programs that can provide a taxi or transportation. They called in a taxi for free for me.

Just call them and see what your options are and what they think you should do.
>>
>>17516771
It doesn't constitute as an emergency, it could also be hours before one comes also due to living in London.

Our government is shit, taxes are for the most part bullshit
>>
>>17516781
I checked, no options available
>>
>>17516792
Why not try uber, and explain your situation and offer your last 27 pence?
>>
>>17516763
Damn, I wish you luck and hope that you heal fast
>>
>>17516806
Never used uber, ever -.-
>>
>>17516810
what the worst part is, I just started football training again. trying to revive whatever career I could have had. Fuck life man
>>
>>17516786
> A compression fracture of the spine, a damaged vertebra, nerve damage, falling down the stairs

All qualify as emergencies. Call an ambulance.
>>
>>17516817
>Can't afford a trip to the hospital
>Thinks he's gonna make it big playing faggy euro soccer

Bruh.
Save up before spending money on hobbies
>>
bang on your neighbours door and ask for a tenner so you can get a taxi
>>
>>17516786
well in that case, call now and say you just fell down the stairs and it feels like you broke something
not like they can call you out on that
>>
>>17516826
Most of my money goes to living, rent and food and bills. I spend like £20 a month on personal things. Impossible to save to when 70% pay check goes to rent

>>17516822
I'll attempt, mostly they will not. Unless I'm dying or have a knife jammed in my back its wishful thinking. Fk London right now
>>
>>17516830
Will do

>>17516829
fk that, not trying to get decked by some goons
>>
I thought they banned all knives in the UK?

Jab a pointy rock into your arm then, boyo.

911 OPERATOR SAYS THE AMUBLANCES ARE BUSY AND IT MAY TAKE HOURS TO REACH ME. THEY ADVISED ME TO GET A LIFT.

FUCK THIS STUPID FUCKING ASS FUCKING SHIT.

I'll just sleep now I guess and pray my body doesn't collapse until Friday.
>>
>>17516869
You have the opportunity to get medical attention in a few hours, but instead you choose to throw a hissy fit and pity yourself? Fuck off, just go to the hospital and stop being melodramatic, you could be seriously injured.
>>
You could always off yourself, I mean, pain will last less than the backpain, you won't spend any money, it's not only cheap, it's fucking free
>>
better hope its not a fatty embolus
>>
>>17516702
Former EMT here.

Mechanism of injury consistent with the possibility of spinal involvement (like falling down the stairs and landing on your back) combined with numbness or tingling in extremities is a medical emergency. I would be strapping you to a board and taking you to the ER. Stop fucking around and go to the hospital.
>>
>>17516869
Fake.

The emergency numbers in the UK are 112 and 999 and 111
>>
>>17516715
Go to your GP in the morning. This is not an emergency. Don't clog up A&E with your anxiety bullshit. They will only give you a quick check up then tell you to see your GP for a referral to a specialist. They won't even give you pain killers.
>>
>>17516715

Pence? Seems like you have free healthcare.
>>
>>17516702
>I have no lift to the hospital also
What do you think ambulances are for?
>>
UPDATE

AMBULANCE DID NOT COME

Getting a lift from co worker when she finishes her shift. Will be at the hospital around 8pm, I think my tailbone is fractured and something dodgy happened to my upper spine.

Cheers for advice, I pray it's not serious. Just signed semi-pro and my team wants me to play on Sunday. Time to go 100 with recovery if it's not serious.
