It happened two days ago. I was asleep on my bed when the phone rang with the e-commerce delivery executive calling. I missed one delivery the other day, so I rushed down the staircase wearing some old slippers. It rained heavily the last day and my old ancestral house was very damp. As I went down a flight of stairs, I felt off seriously off balance. No sooner I tried to restore my balance than I felt like I am sliding down the stairs. I bumped onto my side waist and hit my elbow hard and tumbled upon one of the lowest stairs. I gave a painful sound. Luckily my brother was at home, and he went to pick up the delivery. I limped backwards onto my room with sprained body parts. Still today the pain on the side of my waist is existent but the elbow pain reduced considerably.

That is horrible. I do not have stairs in our apartment, but, when I went down the stairs outside my door inside the building because someone put something very slippery I fell down the stairs. It is a horrible feeling. That is great that our brother was there and could pick up the delivery. Take care and hope it heals soon.

I am sorry that you fell. I hope the pain will go away completely soon. The pain of hitting the elbow is the worst!

Oh! Sorry about that. Hope you feel better soon. When you fall it doesn't hurt much then but then soreness and pain come a little later. Hope no bruising or anything serious is there. Take rest and get healed soon.

you shouldn't hurry while getting down the stairs. Always hold the side railing to avoid losing balance.

That sounds a bad fall down the stairs. I hope you've done no bad damage to yourself.
