I got up on a steady stepstool and stepped back and ended up flat on my back. Splat!!! I am using a chiropractor to help me. Perhaps that was not such a good idea. Anyway he is against medicine and my back needs time to heal but I am impatient. I am still in pain... happened friday evening. My chihuahua came to my rescue which was unexpected and heartwarming. </P> <P>Right now I am in pain. Ice, heat, aspirin. That is about all I have.</P> <P>If anyone has any exercise advice or movement advice or any kind of advice please sent it my way. I am a person who is very active especially in dance and I am so afraid I will not heal. </P> <P>Should I go to a physician and seek out pain killers and muscle relaxing drugs. Should I exercise? Anyone ever had this happen? </P> Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:41:04 GMT bonnielu 2011-10-27T12:41:04Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Fell-backwards-off-a-stepladder-Need-advice/m-p/125050#M2013 <P>I was looking for a pair of shoes.
