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.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
