How Can Back Soreness With Headache Caused By Injury Be Treated?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I am a 49 year old female. I fell down wood stairs yesterday from top to bottom. Today my back is sore, my right side is sore(where I think I took brunt of fall ) and have a head ache. Been taking ibuprofen but hard to get relief. What should I do?
Hi, I went through your question and understand your concern.
Short answer: You may need to consider a visit to doctor.
Detailed answer: Thank you for your question on HCM. A fall from the top of stair case is a matter of concern considering your age. In this age, bones tends to be weak. Even a minor injury may lead to a fracture. But, worry not. If there was a fracture you would have restricted movement of limb. Sometimes, a thin fracture may not cause noticeable difficulty in limb movement.
Taking Ibuprofen without a doctor's advice in old age is not advisable.
I suggest you to consult a orthopedic doctor who will rule out fracture and suggest further treatment.
If you have any further queries, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help. Regards, Dr. Prathap Kumar
