Hip and Back Pain: Should I Wait for Orthopedics?

I almost fell today on stairs because my hip and back started to give way, should I wait for orthopedics or no. I just don't want it to happen again while I'm holding my baby

I dont have any advice but I hope you and your kiddo end up okay đź’• if your unsure, better safe then sorry! Could you call the doctors office you go to and ask if they think you should be seen sooner then your next appt?

I don't have a next appt, I need to call and make one but ortho is so busy and usually gets me in when I have an overlapping appt

I would most def sit/scoot down the stairs until I had my ortho appointment! I’ve gone “down” (fallen) with my puppy in my arms and she was OK but I fractured my hip trying to make sure SHE was ok. I can’t imagine that happening with my own flesh child/baby in my arms. I feel for you. Please be gentle and careful with yourself and remember to go ~slowly~ you aren’t racing for anyone or anything your life or your babes may depend on it. So much love to you Claire!! 💕

I got an appt with ortho next Tuesday, I was going down my nanas outside stairs, they are unfortunately to low to the ground for me to get down to
