I walked into an open dishwasher door with my shin/ankle. I then fell over it and landed on the other side of the door flat on the floor with a thud. I saw a GP who said it would take up to 72 hours for all my bruising/symptoms to come out. I was given 28 days of 400mg of Ibruprofen to take, 3 times a day. I have a huge bruise on the top of my thigh, my lower back hurts, my neck aches, my ribs ache and my shins/ankle hurt off and on if I walk far. It s been nearly a week and I still hurt all over. When am I likely to feel normal enough to return to work? Desk job. Female, 43 yr, slightly overweight .
