Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell when I twisted my ankle. I went to the ER and they x-rayed my ankle, left arm, right wrist, and left knee. The x-rays showed everything was sprained , no broken bones. Still having lots of arm pain and can’t use it. My question is: will a stress fracture show up later? I see my Orthopedic doctor on Monday.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If your X-rays are normal, then you need not have to worry . Start applying Diclofenac gel on the areas which are painful. If the pain is unbearable, you start Analgesic tablets also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
