Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had a fall recently. The doctor gave me a painkiller injection on my buttocks. Now, I have developed a pain on the right side of the thigh. There is pain only when I touch it, and there is a pain in the place where the injection was given.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You had a history of fall. So, you are having a musculoskeletal pain problem. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen can be taken for five days. A hot compress can be applied. Avoid movements that cause pain.
Take rest. If there is no improvement, then, further workup is needed. Consult an orthopedic surgeon for examination, if required.
