Suggest Treatment For Groin Pain After Car Accident?
I was in a car wreck two weeks ago and had three CT scans looking for broken bones. I have a fracture of the 4th rib. But the pain I m experiencing in groin pain. I can barely walk and have been using a cane for the last week. We we re hit by a car going 60 mph broadside on my car door. I had to be cut out of the car and taken by ambulance to Baylor Grapevine Hospital. I m 65 yr old woman in good health and was an Occupational Therapist for 28 years. I know my body fairly well. But weight bearing on my left leg is very difficult. I ve used ice, Aleve and Tylenol. I was wearing a seat belt. Any thoughts?
