10. Get thee to the ER as soon as you can.

May 2012

I had a fall with very similar symptoms few years ago and it turned out I had fractured my pelvis. It's not as catastrophic as it sounds, but it's important to have get it x-rayed. If that's what it turns out to be (which I hope it's not), you'll at least need crutches or a walker to keep from bearing much weight on that side few weeks.

Take care of yourself, demtenjeep.
