I took a spill down the stairs. Thankfully it was a slide and not a tumble (yay for quick reflexes!) But my right foot took the brunt. I can still walk on it, but bend it the wrong way and it hurts. I'm pretty sure it's sprained or something (and... what was it you do for sprains? Ice, elevate and a wrap?) and my tailbone aches :P
I always knew that one day those stairs would best me. Evil, evil stairs. Get 'em Obi-wan!

convinced mine was a sprain too

Despite fractures, the biggest problem was the damage I did to my left leg, knee and shoulder.........but thankfully no broken neck as the doctors at ER warned me could have happened........or broken hip. I am still trying to figure out how I ended up on my back with my left foot hooked in the arm railing on staircase
I mean I fell forward with railing on right???

I never did see a doctor about it -- like you said: wrap, ice & elevate, and I also tried to walk as little as possible for a couple of weeks. It actually took years to heal to the point where it no longer hurt when I'd step on that foot the wrong way, which probably means that going to the doctor would have been the sensible thing to do. :/

Sprains can be even nastier than breaks, as far as actual healing's concerned - longer recovery, and easily re-injured for a long time afterward. :( You might want to consider seeing a doctor about it, if you can, to make sure you're taking the best course for healing that you can.

My poor nephew was trying to cope with me, he wasn't yet 21. Picture me trying to talk to a pharmacist who speaks very little english... LOL! But, we figured it out.
Get off your feet...
