Could Sweating, Feeling Of Bruised Back With Broken Wrist After Fall Be Serious?

My husband fell from head height and broke his wrist last night... This has been seen by the hospital. However he didn t mention that he had also hurt is back. He says it feels bruised but i cant see any bruising. Now he is sweating but is freezing cold. Could he be in shock? Or do you think he has maybe damaged his back more severely than just a bruise?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems that he might develop muscular or ligamentous strain over back. sweating cold occur due to anxiety.I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -
* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
