If you make a nasty fall, always go to a good hospital and have them x-ray your back.
After I fell I called my house doctor, he thought I had just some bruised ribs. Because of my foot I went to the first aid, they made x-rays of my ribs and tried to fix my foot. This proved to be to difficult and I was admitted for surgery. The surgeon that put some metalwork in my foot was the first who looked properly at my back (started poking it, rather painful). He ordered new x-rays and found a broken vertebrae. Later he explained that broken vertebrae are usually unnoticed until it is to late. Vertebrae can brake under compression, you don’t have to fall on your back. The result is chronic back pain and unpleasant operations.
