Brief Answer:
What pain medications are you on?
Detailed Answer:
HI,
You have contusion of soft tissue and this pain is probably caused by this. Ice alone is not sufficient for pain management. It will be best to ask for more potent pain medications from your doctor. In the interim:
Tylenol 1000mg thrice daily
Ibuprofen 600mg thrice daily.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
