Fell Of From Stool And Hurt Arm. Having Pain. Should I Wait To Go To Doctor?
Question: Feel off a step stool yesterday Nd landed on back. Head hit the ground as well. Now I cannot lift my arm on it's on. Very painful. Can this wait till Tuesday after the holiday to getchecked out?
Hi,
This is not a good idea to wait out. A basic X-ray of the arm should do. See if you can visit a Express clinic/Urgent clinic with RN which has the facility. Rest the arm, ice compression over the painful area should help little bit.
I recommend a proper examination by doctor though.
