Should I Be Concerned About Severe Pain In The Same Spot In Chest And Back Along With Shaky Hand?

default
Posted on Wed, 2 Apr 2014
Question: Hi over the weekend I was in a rollover accident I went to the hospital the day after they cleared me. Yesterday my right chest and right upper back started hurting severly in the same spot. Today I have become very shaky in my right hand and while doing house chores became extremely weak almost to the point of collapsing. I have been finding glass shards still embedded in my scalp that the doctors never found. Could everything be related? What could be causing this?

Brief Answer: Call for emergency help. Detailed Answer: Hi. Gone through your history. It was good that nothing happened in the first day. BUT- Some disorders do take more times to show the symptoms. Severe pain in the same spot in chest and back along with shaky hand on the same side and extreme weakness indicates a need to rush to the ER/ Hospital you were with. Call for a help-- do not move or self-test. There can be a problem in the spine or the chest wall. Internal injuries can show up after a few days and can be very serious. Glass shards may not be that important.

I have been sitting down and relaxing since my first question I still have the pain But my weakness and shaking have stopped. Is it still something I should go in about?

Brief Answer: Yes. Detailed Answer: Yes, as I have suggested. We have to rule out any sinister in-progress problem, which a Doctor only can diagnose on clinical examination and investigations like x-rays and scan , whichever he feels necessary. A little bit of late can cause more complications. ''A stitch in time saves nine''- is also true in our practice. And the best part , if every thing comes negative, all will be relaxed and happy. Severe pain in a post accident time can have an reason - which has to be either diagnosed or to be ruled out. Please go in for .
