I fell out of i tree? lol is it a serious injury?

Question

me and my friend were climbing a tree and my friend got high up and was gonna jump and swing on a branch he chickened out so i did it but i flipped and landed on my ribs and hip. it was about 20 feet in the air, i didnt feel the urge too cry cuz i thought i just got the wind knocked out of me, but later my wrist started hurting really bad and my hip, it also stings when i breath, could this be a bad injury or injuries?

Answer 1

Yes, I would seek medical attention. You are actually really lucky, in first responder training, any fall over 6 ft requires immediate medical attention to make sure there are no spinal injuries. You could have anything from sprains to a broken rib if it stings when you breathe. I would say: To the doctor, post haste!

Answer 2

There could be a chance that you broke a bone.  I would go to a doctor and try to get an x-ray.

Answer 3

I'd suspect a fractured rib. X-ray would tell the best.

Answer 4

if it happened recently, just give it a few days, but if it still really hurts, go to the doctor. feel better!
