Narrative:

We were at approximately 13000 ft and climbing. We were flying around a storm cell, but we got into the edge of the cell and hit brief turbulence. I had just finished pouring a cup of coffee and locked down the coffee maker. At first, it was just bump, and then suddenly it was very bad. I tried to reach the assist handle, but couldn't. I went flying across the G1 galley, hit my right arm on the G2 galley oven, then flew across the aisle and hit the back of my head, my neck, and lower back on the corner of G3 galley, then hit the floor hard on my tail bone and left hip bone. The lady in xb was a nurse and helped me to a seat (yb) after she notified the cockpit. First officer came out to assist. The nurse put pillows and an ice pack on my back, gave me 800 mg of advil, and monitored my condition until we landed at dfw. I was taken by ambulance to a medical center. X-rays showed nothing to be broken. The diagnosis was a sprained neck and back.
