hello, I fell down the stairs on Saturday and I am still in a lot of pain. I have a large bruise on my right check and have a constant pain on the right hand side of my back and also my shoulder blade the back and shoulder blade only have a slight bruise. When I try and get up or bend down it seems to go in spasm/shooting pain for a few seconds. I have been taking ibuprofen which has helped a bit, have been trying a heated bean bag today which I thought was helping but now think it is making it worse. Could I have hurt an organ in my back? Should I go and get it checked out?
Hithank-you for providing the brief history of you. A Thorough clinical neuromuscular examination is advised followed by an MRI of the cervical spine. As the symptoms insist more on the nerve impingement in the cervical spine and the symptoms like pain in shoulder blade, arms, forearm and hand. Treatment of choice will be a Chat Doctor. Due to falls certain times we can expect small trauma to the cervical spine as though your explanation about the fall also mentions same. For bruise on the cheek applying ointment for healing should make a help. In my clinical post fall most patients are advised for a thorough clinical examination and an MRI if needed. Physical therapy in combination with
