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 took a very hard fall 9-days ago landing against my right buttocks cheek. There was a small puncture wound from the corner of the bench I landed against. I have had immense pain in my buttocks, lift hip and lower back. Some bruises even appeared on the front of my thigh even though there was no impact there. I was seen in the ER where x-rays were done with negative results. I currently and still in pain and have a deformed buttocks due to the large amount of swelling. I ve kept the area iced and elevated. What can I do next? What should I expect?
It can be due to neuropathic causes like sciatica. As of now, you can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
