Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of external soft tissue injury, and there is little chance of any internal injury to brain or spinal cord.

As of now, you can take analgesics such as ibuprofen or diclofenac to relieve the pain. The pain should settle down in a few days.

If symptoms are persisting, you should see a doctor. In view of tingling in the hand, one may need to exclude neck injury causing a mild compression of the cervical nerve in that case.

Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
