Fell on upper back

2017-10-14 05:52:42
I sustained a fall onto my upper back from about 4 feet; once I hit the ground, my head also fell back. I have a sore neck and ribs (legs were up in the air when I fell), and no headache. I didn't lose consciousness or become dizzy, nauseated, or shaky. No vision changes and I feel fine otherwise. I do have a small bump on the back of my head.
