Suggest Treatment For Abdominal And Back Pain After A Fall
Question: i recently was bucked off a horse and landed on very hard ground on my front side. I fractured T6. SINCE i HAVE BEEN HOME MY ABDOMEN IS SWELLING AND FIRM. MILD PAIN. I FEEL FULL, DONT WANT TO EAT, WHEN I DO I FEEL EXTREMELY FULL. I ALSO HAVE PAIN UNDER MY RIGHT BREAST IN UPPER RIB CAGE AREA AND TO SOME DEGREE ON THE LEFT SIDE ALSO. MY LEFT HIP, OR BUTT AREA HURTS WORSE OR AS MUCH AS MY BACK. THIS INJURY OCCURRED 2 WEEKS AGO.
Brief Answer:
Spinal traction should provide relief.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It seems that the vertebral fracture is creating problems by causing compression of the spinal nerves. These nerves supply the areas downward to the site of injury/fracture and therefore the resultant pain and problems is being felt in the area those nerves supply. You need to take vitamin B supplements and visit a neruosurgeon for further opinion of what is best to be done in your case and if spinal traction would be suitable for you.
