I fell backwards and hit the corner of the tail gate of the truck when I landed I gashed my back and landed on my wrist and back. Back is becoming bruised and really sore, and wrist is sore? Do you think it s just bruising or do I need to get xrays done.
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post are due to the impact as well as accumulation of fluid & blood (Hematoma). Symptomatic relief is obtained by analgesics preparations (like Diclofenac + Serratiopeptidase), ice compression & adequate rest. If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like fever, loss of sensation, restriction of movements, discoloration, etc...then it will be better to consult your Doctor. An X-ray of the wrist joint will be needed to rule out any bone fracture or soft tissue injury. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
