Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain After Injury
hi there. i fell down some stairs about 4 days ago. the main areas hurt (with hot to touch bruises), are my right elbow, and very top of my right buttock. about a week prior to this, i was bending under a table, and when i moved to get upright again, i smashed my tailbone into the corner of the table. the buise for that has just about disappeared.
i've started getting an odd pain in my abdomen (right side). it's not a contstant pain. it comes and goes every minute or so. it's fairly sharp - but not a terrible stabbing pain right now.
i feel healthy otherwise. i'm taking a couple of asprin a day to avoid any clotting.
what's the abdomen pain about do yoyu

Hi.
Thanks for your query .
Fall from stairs certainly cause such injuries that can become obvious only after some days. Yours are at the right elbow, top of your right buttock.
As I told just now that some injuries can becomes obvious only after some days and hence tries to neglect the proper examination by a Doctor and the investigations. Since you have a pain in the abdomen, again on the right side. This is not constant, comes and goes, and is fairly sharp.
I would advise you the following ::
First of all stop Aspirin as it can enhance your problem by causing or increasing internal bleeding by virtue of its anti-platelet activity.
Secondly, get a clinical / Physical examination by a Surgeon for proper clinical diagnosis.
Thirdly, go for CT scan of the abdomen to get the details whether there is any internal injury to the colon , right kidney, liver or so.
If found get admitted for ''under-observation and review of the condition as you may need surgery any time. IF normal , nothing to worry as this can then be just a bruised abdominal wall muscles.
