Q&A

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Gayakwad

Why do I have a headache after a facial injury?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the attached images (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), I can see that you suffer from contusion of the soft tissue around the jaw with a sprain in the temporomandibular joint ligaments. You do not have any bone injury because you can chew food, but I can only comment on the condition after reviewing your X-rays. I suggest you continue your medications (consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her, and take medications with their consent). Apply ice packs intermittently, and visit the emergency room for appropriate treatment after a detailed clinical examination.

What are the treatment options for fallen on-hand wrist pain?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The available information shows that the ligaments holding the two bones in the proximal row of the wrist are stretched or partially torn (as x-ray predicts a gap of 2 to 3 mm). Therefore, I suggest you have a clinical test known as the Watson test, in addition to a detailed assessment of the injured limb and hand, which is necessary to decide further course of action, like whether there is intercarpal instability or the need for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Coming to the treatment part, I suggest you immobilization in a splint, limb elevation, and ice pack application would suffice in the initial period. Then, based on further detailed assessment I suggest following course of management: 1) Continue immobilization for four to six weeks.

Bracing - If the curve is between 25 to 45 degrees.
