If you fell down cleaning & have pain in your leg, & you have a meeting Thursday, will you try to cancel your meeting?

What kind of pain is it? How bad is it?

If it's not too bad, and you can walk as fast as normal (even when you're limping), I would still go to the meeting.

if it is a joint thing like the ankle or knee, and is a dull ache rather than a sharp pain, you can ace wrap it, take some NSAIDs [WITH FOOD!] and soldier on, gently. use a cane if necessary.

You still have time to go to the doctor before the meeting.

I had something like that too: The other day, I felt a very sharp pain in my upper leg after eating lunch and it continued for the next hour. I didn't work out extremely hard the previous day, so I don't know what caused it.
