I Fell Outside Monday And Landed On My Stomach On
Question: I fell outside Monday and landed on my stomach on our concrete sidewalk. I hurt really bad in the left upper part of my leg in the groin area. I have been taking it easy and resting and it was helping but today it hurts no matter what I am doing. Should I go to Urgent Care to get it checked out or the ER and ask them?
Brief Answer:
Where the X-ray/ CT scan/Ultrasonography be available
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Persistent pain in groin area after the accident that you have explained indicates either a development of a tendon injury, hematoma or even fracture of pubic bone.
Hence you need an X-ray and Ultrasonography of the area to get a confirmed diagnosis along with clinical evaluation.
I think these facilities would be at ER. Please check out where these facilities be available and get the investigations done, so that an appropriate management can be done.
Continue your medications as advised.
I hope this answers your query and helps you.
Please give feedback.
With Regards.

I had Urgent Care visit after I posted question. They did xray. Showed nothing broken. They have ordered a ultrasound. I have been in horrible pain all weekend. Today is Tuesday. I have a visit with Chiropractor. He said he feels I did some damage to my sacroiliac joint. I am hoping someone figures this out soon. I am tired of the pain.

I went to Chiropractor and he adjusted me but I am still in pretty intense pain in my groin area. I have been walking around today hoping it would help but it is not helping the pain to ease up. My PCP is going to see me tomorrow so I will see what they decide to do. No calls for Ultrasound. I am really disappointed in other offices not coordinating to get that scheduled. I am taking Aleve now every 12 hrs. My right leg and ankle was swelling and not sure what was causing that. Thank You.
Brief Answer:
Additional medication, rest as derailed.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Since the pain is in the groin area, the sacroiliac joint problem is out of the discussion.
As answered in the first session, this may be due to the groin strain.
Please discuss this possibility with your PCP and see if you can be referred to the Specialist.
Aleve is Naproxen if it is not helping many requests your Doctor to give another anti-inflammatory with painkiller property, add on Tramadol or so.
Do not walk, for the time being, take full rest for healing to occur and reduce further damage.
Sleep with flexed hip joint with support below the right knee to relax the muscles and allow healing. Physiotherapy should be done at an appropriate time.
I hope this answer helps you further.
Please give feedback once you meet the PCP and get investigations done.
Take care.
With Regards.
