Like you, I find when working on my back, I get what I call a head rush, but maybe it is vertigo? I don’t get dizzy, but once I sit up, after a few seconds, I’m fine.

Yeah, a “head rush” is a fair description for a minor version of Vertigo. I’ve read it is usually related to inner ear instability. I’ve had ear issues since I was a kid but my balance is usually great. I used to walk on 2x4 or 2x6 walls 8-14 feet off the ground and while I didn’t get a thrill from it, I could do it to get jobs done.
The Vertigo can sometimes cause nausea.

Never did much like working on structures more than one story. Going up in an small aircraft never bothered me tho. Dad took us to a small airport to go up in a single engine aircraft back in the early 60's and my sister would not get in the plane. I was all for it so she stayed on the ground and I found a new love! Just wish I could have afforded it lol

I do Property maintenance and end up taking a tumble a few times a year especially in winter while doing snow removal on the few properties I do that service... Hopefully I keep getting back up!

If any of you guys or gals play pickle ball, that is a great place to fall. I stopped to help my buddy play against my wife and his wife. I thought 2 against one wasn’t fair. 5 minutes later the pictures tell it all. The Surgeon said 6 months and nothing or 6 weeks and 3 screws. Took me all of 5 seconds to tell him to screw me. Lol My childhood buddy broke his neck last winter falling into the net playing against his daughter. Thankfully after surgery and 8 months of recovery he is just about back to golfing. Orthopedic doctors love pickle ball players job security!

OUCH! You told what happened your poor wife. What about the above pic, assume it's you, looks nasty! Thor is cute.

That is my wife, that’s why they thought I might have hit her
