Yesterday night I was involved in a car accident. I was in the passenger seat. We hit the side of another car that was spinning out of control and both cars were totaled. The complete front of our vehicle was crushed in. At the time I had pretty bad chest pain and soon some abdominal pain but attributed that to the air bag. It has been about a day later and my lower right abdomen around the ovarian/appendix area is in a lot of pain along with other minor injuries. I dont know if I should continue to wait it out to see if it was just from the air bag or see a doctor. I dont want to waste money as they have not found the driver at fault yet.Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I prefer you to consult physician urgently. With the history of accident and pain in lower abdomen better to get ultrasound abdomen done. Any intro abdominal injury with blood collection can result in sever pain. As right lower abdomen is one of the dependent part, any collection will first collect there. Not to get tensed but better to rule out intro abdominal injury. Get ultrasound abdomen and erect X-ray of abdomen and examination by physician. Hope this helps you. Regards
