I don't remember as it's been so long ago. I guess I last fell about 8 years ago lol when I damaged my little finger temporarly after falling a little from walking down the stairs. My finger is better now but it feels much weaker than my other fingers (and my little finger on the other hand)
What about you Frederick? When was your last fall?

Wow you are lucky it was just your fingers. The biggest concerns when it comes to falls would be head injuries, back injuries, due to the spinalcord injuries that can be substained and if you are elderly due toi brittle bones, that chance of breaking them. It does sound like you had some nerve damage in the fingers. Where they xrayed to see if there any nerves pinched or cut?

The last time I fell was a few weeks ago I remember I just woke up and walked up the stairs. And I dont know what happend I tripped over something and just fell which that has never happend to me before. But I did cause a hole in the wall since I pushed the door into the wall pretty hard. But I didnt hurt myself even though I could of pretty bad.

About 6 weeks ago I had a song in my head and not watching where I was going I missed the last 2 steps to my basement and I landed on my knees on CONCRETE! So I got 2 skinned knees and one was sore for several weeks.... I was beginning to think I was going to need to see a Dr because it was ok to walk on , stand on but was tender to the touch wich I thought was weird. But because I was still mobile and it didn't hurt to move it that I though I was probably ok.

hmmm..
i don't remember.
but i do remember the time i fell real bad and still carry the scar with me till this day.
it was one of those family outings to an island off-shore. we decided to bike into the forests and have an adventure. However, because my dad refused to take a map, we got lost in the woods. Night was falling & he kind of turned desperate.
So, at some juncture, we were suppose to ride down a steep slope full of sharp gravels. Whilst going down hill, a van was coming up hill. I panicked and fell from my bike, landing on my left knee.
We finally made it to civilization and took a ferry back to mainland. My dad didn't seem to think it a bad cut, so i was brought to the local pharmacist. The pharmacist actually wanted to stitch me up. But i was too scared of needles and so i begged her to just wrap the wound up. THank God it healed up.
I was only 17 then. BUt till now, i still carry the car on my knee. It's the shape of a letter 'Y'.

I fell on black ice on my right knee. I have a bruise and it hurts . I am resting and putting ice on it but it stings and burns a bit. I was walking home last night
Fri Jan 2,2009 after I helped my 98 year old friend at her house.
I got home and elevated it as much as possible and put ice on it.
I was walking slowly but i still did not see the black ice.
