General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Sir, I advise you to consult a orthopaedic doctor immediately. You needs a x-ray and CT scan for diagnose a fracture. Because severe pain after injury may be due to fracture. So it is very important to rule out.Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
