Fell pretty much on my lower back. Was in terrific pain and couldn't walk without a walking stick. Used heat and ice and Advil, and eventually it got better.

Ah, and I forgot: Epsom salt hot baths! You can buy Epsom salts pretty inexpensively at a dollar store. It is amazing how a bath like this can ease pain.

I didn't go to a doctor because this was right at the (first wave) worst of the pandemic.

Recover well and soon!!
