Brief Answer:
I recommend better pain management!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this fall your mom had. I have reviewed this information fully and if the xray couldn't establish a fracture, then for real there is no fracture. an MRI is really over the board if no fracture was seen on an xray. I will recommend that the doctors improve her pain management. Tylenol alone seems largely insufficient. I will recommend that the doctors get her on Vicodin for better pain management. This way, she will not be in pains while healing is on the way following the bruise. For me, good pain management and no need for an MRI at this time.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.
