Brief Answer:
Monitor for now. Take Tylenol and Ibuprofen for pain relief!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this fall. I have reviewed your information fully and this is not suggestive of a major lesion such as a fracture. I think it is more of soft tissue injury and this will normally heal within 7-10days. I recommend you take tylenol and Ibuprofen for pain relief. Also, cold compresses and rest are advised. Keep me updated on every new development for evaluation and further advise.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
