Is Having Inconsistent Pain In Waist Post Injury A Cause For Concern?
Should get checked for the reasons mentioned below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of Diabetes, Hypertension for which you are taking medicines.
Also noted that you fell off a ladder today approximately 3 feet. Had a handle of the screwdriver in your back pocket. Noe have inconsistent pain from waist to above 10-12 inches right side only.
Wants to know whether to get checked or wait and see what the night brings.
My thoughts:
Since you are a known case of diabetes and hypertension, it is better to check for now. These can change or increase due to stress of trauma.
Secondly, It is very important to have a clinical evaluation, examination and investigations if needed to see if there is any internal trauma or not.
Diabetes increases such risks.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis, and get a proper further treatment. Please feel free to ask for more or if you need further clarifications or if you feel there is a gap of communication.
