Severe Pain Due To Fall On Rim Of Potted Plant. History Of Healing From Bilateral Retinal Tears, Lost Sight Of Position On Deck. Advice
Two weeks ago I fell off a step at night. i am just now healing from bilateral retinal tears and had lost sight of my position on the deck. I ended up falling upon the rim of a large potted planter. The pain has been severe. but I have not seen a doctor. How long will this pain last? I haven't taken anything for the pain but it is so painful. Thank you . Maggi
