Hi,
AP and lateral view X-rays are suggested, for soft tissue injury, MRI can be done. Moreover, medical treatment will prevent mal-allignment if fracture is there and help in fastened recovery, if blood is coming out [you need antibiotics Amoxy Clav 500mg for 3 days].
Salonpas gel patch for pain apply for 7 days, patch may remain in place for up to 8 hrs. For psychological stress associated with trauma and pain, join online optimising energy workshop online, it will take your attention from it and very helpful in pain seen in patients with similar history.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
