Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Arm, Ribs, Thigh Sore To Touch Due To Fall. Taken Ibuprofen, Arnica Gel. Contusion?
On Valentine's day, I tripped and fell to my right side trying to break the fall. my right upper arm, right rib and right thigh took a hard hit on the tile fall. it never bruised but was sore to the touch. I applied Arnica gel on it and took ibuprofen. the arm and rib pain went away but at seven weeks I still have pain come and go. I seems to act up in the evenings. I had a X-ray taken last week but no one has called me back on the results. could it just be a contusion?
Hi, it appears that you had a hairline fracture, or a crush of the soft tissue. I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Avoid taking potato, other tubers, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
