Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband fell off the roof and he hurt his left ankle and his lower back. His back is severe pain, is this ok or should he go to the hospital. He does not want to go. His ankle is sprained bad but not sure if broken. It s his back that is more painful, he landed on his foot then down on his butt.
