Please, get an xray first!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this fall and the pains you are currently experiencing. The first and most important thing would be to make sure that you didn't sustain any bony lesions like a fracture. An xray would be very helpful in this regard. If anything worrisome is found here, then appropriate management would be initiated.
If no bone was affected, then you would be managed for your pains. What drugs you receive for this would depend on the intensity of the pains as evaluated by your physician. If it is very severe, you may need to take prescription pain medications that can only be ordered by your doctor.
For now, I will suggest that you take some ibuprofen and tylenol as advised by your pharmacist. This will help calm the pains while you make the necessary arrangements to get this looked into.
I hope this addresses your query fully and provides enough information for you to act on. Feel free to ask for any clarification or more information if needed and I will gladly respond to.Thanks for using our services.
