Bruising and nerve pain from a fall. Do I need to see a doctor or will it just !


Question:

Bruising and nerve pain from a fall. Do I need to see a doctor or will it just take time to heal?

I fell about 2 1/2 weeks ago on my front steps. Left buttock hit the edge of a step. Bruising is getting better but still have pain in certain spots. Will it just take time to heal? Anything I can do in the meantime besides taking pain medicine (I won't do that!).


Answers:

After 2 weeks you should be feeling a lot less pain.

If you feel the pain isn't really any better, then a visit to the doctor needs to be considered.

You can use Arnica gel or ointment on the areas of pain, it will help. (homeopathic, available from health stores).

Good luck
A.D.
