I took a fall last night, backwards.put my hands back to try breaking the fall.The right one hit the ground bending it back when I hit it was like a jamming. My head felt like I was hit by a cast iron skillet. Pressure, but didn t last long. Every joint from my wrist to my neck is hurting.what scares me is that my lips are numb. I had a cervical fusion 23 years ago. I have severe spondylitis and have been disabled for 10 years now.Tomorrow is my appt.with my PT. Was hoping you could give me some information about the numbness. Ty.
Hi, It is possible that you had injury to your muscles, ligaments and soft tissues leading to pains in the region. It is always better to get a cervical spine X-ray done to know if you are having any abnormality due to injury and pre-existing spine fusion surgery. As you have the appointment tomorrow, right now you can reduce your pains by applying an ointment containing a painkiller preparation with muscle relaxant. This needs to be applied gently over the painful areas and not to be massaged. Wishing you a quick recovery.
