Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this fall and the pain you have reported. I have reviewed your symptoms and the surrounding information. Theis is typical of soft tissue injury following a fall. Rest, ice packs and Ibuprofen would provide pain relief while healing takes its course. Unless something else happens, there us nothing suggestive of a possible bone fracture or further need of a medical consultation.
I generally don’t encourage taking aspirin because it can cause stomach pain. I will encourage you to switch to Ibuprofen.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Also, report your progress to me for review in 3-5days.
