Sorry boss but I will advise you go for a medical check up and also run an X-ray…you might have sustained an internal injury without knowing.
Lost one young man of recent….the same story as yours but he was a carpenter….dude didn’t go for any check up and died 2 weeks later after complaining of chest pain within 3hrs…he was rushed to the hospital but it was later already….he sustained a heart injury.

Cc: Blossommind

Go to a Govt General Hospital like this poster has said. General Hospitals are much more cheaper and somewhat standardised.

Sorry, God would crown your efforts with success.

Those two kids are perfect, just put an end of birthing of kids so you are under more pressure.

So sorry about your experience. Take heed of the numerous advice here to seek for medical help.

Forget about money and go run a scan and X-ray. Even Nairaland has kindhearted members that will be of help, if need be.

I pray God that the result of the scan wouldn't be something so serious.

Take care of yourself, bro.

Thank God for your life.... but you should try to go for a check-up ASAP.

That was how I had a free fall at home four years ago and I just took pain Killers everything was gone the next week. Went about my business as usual now that has come back to haunt me because on that same leg I have done three orthopedic surgeries all high risk still yet I haven't corrected the leg.

The pains I feel on the leg is out of here, I can't climb stairs or even walk a distance of 10 mins anymore.

That nasty fall changed everything about my life and I have still not recovered from it. My kneecap was affected. So you see you need to go run x-ray and scan as soon as possible. If you have money for a CT scan please spare because you said your head was impacted heavily so as to rule out internal bleeding.

See fine girl like me at my young age wey I think say everything perfect for my body dey do shakara dey go at this point everything has gone out of the window. I can't function the way I am supposed to.
It is really limiting me alot. Was supposed to get married this year but everything went South 90% because of the leg. His family shifted his mind and him too started acting up. So my dear please take care of your health. Don't take it for granted.
Just that one fall I had that I didn't take serious the resulting effect is dealing with me so badly

Only painkillers ?

Where this your God sef? Ọmọ 🙄🙄

Sorry Bro, this how one of my Son fell down from one storey building when he was barely 3 yrs. He had a crack skull and it's wasn't easy for us because he nearly died. To the Glory of God Almighty and thanks to the Neuro Surgeon Dr and his team who save his Life. He was operated on the head here in Nigeria. Teaching Hospital nearly finished my son, I have to act fast and transfer him to Neuro Surgeon Specialist. Today, he is almost 6 yrs old and he is perfectly alright.

Please kindly go for CT Scan because of your head impact, the brain is the center of human Life and also do X-ray to check for possible internal injury.

Re: Bad Day: I Fell From Ladder Today While Doing House Painting by Loandbehold: 1:58pm On May 11, 2023
That's a hematoma (accumulation of blood). You should go see a doctor to make sure no serious damaged was caused by the impact and the bleeding stops.
Re: Bad Day: I Fell From Ladder Today While Doing House Painting by compu(m): 1:59pm On May 11, 2023
We thank GOD for your life.

Let's learn from this :

When using ladder, let's consider some safety measures

1. Make sure you have someone at the base who will help you hold it in position

2. When the risk of falling is higher, request for scaffolding

3. Never use a ladder on sloppy base, your weight can make it slip any moment

4. When you are at higher height, make sure you use your harness belt, where you will anchor for your safety.

5. When all the safety precautions are not provide or not in place, it is better to leave the job.

Our life and our safety while carrying out any job should come first.

God bless our hustle!

I want to share what could have landed me in death or in a disfigured state but God said NO, having seen that I only came to hustle for my daily bread. There are cases of this type that people don't live to testify. I shall not die before my time.

Note: please I dont know how to write without errors and as I am in an unstable state now. So apology to English teachers and students in advance if you see errors. I'm a product of evening school.

First of all, I am a hustler and I have this strong desire to become a better person in life despite my background. 30+, father of two who still went back to school to study for a degree for the sake of the future, which is also putting additional pressure on me.

I do house painting and farming. So I got this small painting work that could have help me earn some money which I really needed it, thus, I grabbed it with joy. A one story building. It is one side of the house, given to me by the main contractor. Everything was going fine until at some point when i shifted the ladder to another position, put a stopper at the base so that the ladder won't slip. Everything looked good just like l have been doing all the while before I climbed it. While still climbing far up with a bucket of paint and long roller on my left hand, suddenly, the ladder slipped backwardly and with speed like siooooooooooood....... (like in a second or two) till it crashed landed. You know that kind sioooood sound. Meanwhile, I can't explain when the paint left my hand back to the ground and when I also left the ladder without even knowing, on free fall until I crash landed too. There was nothing to hold or anyway to help myself to land well. Chai, may we not die while looking for our daily bread. That was how I landed on my back roughly and hit the head on the wall. Chai, come and see me in this condition, no how you won't pity me. I didn't even know what to do immediately on crashing on the ground, to cry hungry me but I no fit cry at the same time.

Worse thing is that this kind of fall does not give any room to defend yourself. You just fall helplessly like a bag of fufu and land anyhow. Poor me! This hapoened after 10am today.

As it were, that was the end of the work and am back in the house now licking my wounds. Since the job is at personal-risk, whatever you see, you take. Nobody to complain to for sympathy.

Meanwhile, my second child is less than a month old. Praise be to God for not letting this moment of joy turn to tears, assuming injuries required medical emergency or even death.

To be a man is not a day job. It takes a lot to build to become a man especially, financially.

Right here at home, back/body pain, swollen head with serious headache (as I hit on the wall), dislocated joints (right wrist) and sharp pain around the left part of the waist, all going on around me.

"Brother Bernard" happened to me.

Safety measures are necessary...

there's a reason one or two people are usually at the base of ladders,
