Suggest Treatment For Bruised And Sore Buttocks And Wrist
I fell down my camper steps 3 days ago. First hit left buttox, then fell off the left side of step landing on my right palm of hand. At same time hit left elbow scraping it and have two scrapes on my left above eye area. I had a nurse who happened to see me fall check my pupils. She said was fine. She checked my grip squeezing her hands...that was fine. I had ice on head for like 4 hrs. starting immediately after it happened. I never got the goose egg. :) Scraped and bruised my buttox pretty good. Wrists alittle sore but can bend them. No headaches. Am I in the clear would you think after 3 days? I ve had no nausea or vomiting either.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to fall on hard surface sacrum may be injured. Due to microtauma there may be fibrosis formation.
Tenderness in gluteal region can be due to muscle injury.Rest will heal muscle injury.
Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside.
Use ring cushion and take sitz bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]
Take analgesic like nucoxia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor.
If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care

I have studied your case and I think that you might need more time than that. I would suggest you to visit a doctor and get x rays of hip and wrist to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the bone.
Also I hope you are taking antibiotics and pain killers for your wound. Avoid water on that part. Avoid sitting on hard surface and I would recommend you to take rest.
for wrist I would recommend you to apply ice over it and also wear compression bandage. if there is pain on movement than a splint can be applied.
I hope this answer will be helpful. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
