answer:Hi, thanks for using HCM.Pain in hip region could be due to trauma from fall. lightheadedness and tingling sensation need to be concerned. One possible cause would be small amount of bleed in head out side brain. Better to consult your doctor and get examined as early as possibleRegards
question:My bike slipped out from under me when I hit an icy patch a week ago. A massive bruise formed over my greater trochanter and the coloration spread all around my thigh, but there wasn t too much pain. 6 days after the fall, I started getting intermittent sharp stinging pain from my thigh. The pain is so intense that I can t stand on or move that leg much, and this lasts for minutes to a couple hours at a time. Is it normal for pain to kick in days after an injury, or is this some sign of a complication? Also, is it typical to have symptoms of whiplash develop a week after a hard fall?
answer:Hi, thanks for using HCM.Pain after a week of injury could be due to nerve compression due to swelling in thigh or damage to femur neck. Examination required to confirm condition. Consult your doctor for examination and further management.Regards
question:My 14yo daughter fell down about 6 wood stairs. She landed on her bottom on concrete. She got up and was talking, but had no color in her face/lips. She started feeling dizzy and nauseous. We got her to sit and she dry heaved a few times. Said she couldn t see or hear. Leaned her back against her dad who sat on the floor to hold her. She was getting worse, her arm started shaking and them her head (seizing). Her eyes were open, but she wasn t communicating. Then she went limp. I ran upstairs for the phone to call 911 while my husband was holding her, calling for her to come back. By the time I got back to the stairway, she was awake again, so she wasn t even out a minute. The 911 call didn t go through before my husband stopped me. She slowly started coming around. Got some color back, felt less nauseous, could see and hear better. Now (about 20 minutes later), she seems ok. A little weak and low on energy, but talking, laughing, asking questions and asking for food. No bumps, no blood, no pain other than her elbow. Should she still be seen, or can we just watch her here at home? If so, what should we watch for.
answer:Hi,YOU SHOULD SEE A PHYSICIAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!What actually happened was the blood supply to her brain stopped transiently resulting in the physical manifestation she had. she might have had carotid dissection. immediate attention is required with thourough body check up. there might be some embolus obstructing blood vessels also. proper aetiology can be derived only by proper investigations which is also important to prevent any further such incidence. hope that helps! take care! :)
question:I had a car accident two days ago. I was hit on the driver's side. I did hit my face on the driver's side window, but other than my face hurting for a while I was find. Today I have been very nauseated and vomited. Could it be related. It was, like I said, two days ago.
answer:Hi thanks for the question.Sorry to hear about the accident. After the accident did you happen to have any dizziness,confusion,vomiting,memory loss? If you ate on painkillers thst can slso cause nausea.Please take an antacid half an hour before food twice a day. Wait for two days if symptoms worsen please get it reviewed with a doctor. Take care
question:Fell on my butt Friday roller skating. I fell so hard that my brain rattled. I have no bruising, but the pain is very severe. My tailbone, both hips, it feels like I have a bladder infection. Bilateral the location where your appendix are both right and left side hurt. I am nauseous.
answer:Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.If I were your treating physician, I would prescribe some anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor for a few days. Apart from this, I would refer you to a physiotherapy department where they might give you some heating either with an infra red device, or short-wave diathermy device, which are soothing and help in healing of the wound in muscle and bone. The second part of your history is a little perplexing on the pain in both sides of your lower abdomen and the nauseous feeling. This might call for an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any secondary abdominal pathology. A careful clinical examination of the abdomen is also a vital part of the management in your case. Therefore, in case of increase in the intensity of pain and discomfort, I would not hesitate to refer you to a general surgeon for an examination and further management.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
question:I fell while cross-country skiing directly on my bum. I immediately thought I broke my tail-bone. I know there isn t much a doctor can do. This happened one week ago. Now when I sit in a slouching position (cause that is least painful) it now feels like there is a lump in there off a little to one side. Not sure if I should see Dr. about it.
answer:Hello dear,The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury .X ray of Lumbo sacral spine & Pelvis will be helpful to rule out any fracture or other pathological causes.Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones.Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedician for proper clinical examination.Also, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.Wishing you a Good Health.Take care.
