Bruised And Sore Knees And Ankles After Falling. How Long Will It Take To Heal?
Hi, About a week a go I fell down some stairs and landed on both knees and outstretched arms. I was sore and had some bruises but was Ok. I did get checked by a doctor and x-rays were taken of my ankle and knees. I have had some sorness in both shoulders but yesterday I started having extreme pain in my left shoulder but only when I move it in certain directions, otherwise it is sore but not unbearable. I have not done anything else that would cause this pain.Today I cannot raise my arm over my head nor can I reach behind my back. could this be a result of the fall? It seems like a long time to get a reaction. Just wondering if an injury could take this long to surface or could it be something else. I will get it checked anyway when I return to my town from this vacation.
Welcome to HCM. your symptoms is most likely due to soft tissue,muscle injury surrounding that shoulder joint after fell down. Take nsaid with serratiopeptidase for 7 to 10 days. You can apply nsaid gel locally. Physiotherapy will be helpful to get fast recovery. Consult orthopedician for further guidance and medical management.
