I fell off of my 8 foot ladder. The ladder collapsed first and I fell onto it. ( clung to the exposed rafters for a brief moment, fell onto the ladder on my back. I have a huge bruise on lower back I m experiencing pain in right side, breathing is shallow with a deep pain in side when I draw a deep breath. It is now 3 days after the accident.
According to your complaints, a possibility of rib fracture has to be ruled out by X-ray chest as you have pain on deep breathing. Bruising usually disappears on its own with time but breathing complaints have to be taken seriously. Wish you good health and prompt recovery.
