What Causes Pain In My Left Hand After Head Injury?
I was in a serious car accident Wed. night in which I was hit head on . My car was turned 180 degrees and then proceeded to hit another car. I was taken to the ER and x-rays were done. Everything came back normal. I ve been very sore since the accident, but today my left hand is tingly and feels like pins and needles. I called my Dr. yesterday and was told I couldn t be seen until Tuesday. Is this feeling normal? How long does it normally last? Thank you.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There might be some minor contusions or muscle injury that could not be visualized in an X-ray. Some thin hair lime fracture can also cause similar symptoms and will not be seen in X-ray. As of now you can take analgesics anti inflammatory drugs like acetaminophen seratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. Apply ice packs also. If pain persists, better to consult an orthopaedic an take an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
