Hi, I slipped on the stairs Sunday morning and fell on my back pretty hard. It hurt in my abdomen at impact and a minute later felt fine. Went to work yesterday a little sore. I just woke up with sharp pains in my abdomen, and am not sure if i should get checked out or not.
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Pain abdomen following trauma needs to get investigated and watched carefully. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to know the exact affairs in your abdomen. Also, you need to be examined physically to rule out associated intra-abdominal visceral injury, and so you should fix an appointment with a general surgeon of your area and report to him at your earliest. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
