Hit On The Head, Normal CAT And X-ray, Staples On Head, Continuous Pain At Near Armpit, No Bruising Or Swelling. Remedy?

Had a one story fall on concrete floor a week ago and also hit my head on the concrete. Went to the emergency. Cat-scan and x-rays are normal but had 11 staples to the head. The pain in feet , hips, back and bruises throughout are healing well but three days ago started feeling continuous pain in my left side chest/back near armpit which is just not going away and there s no swelling or bruising in the area. 62yrs Male. Thanks.

Hi..kapilverma.., since the ct scan of brain is normal, and xrays were normal suggests no major problem.. the other injuries will heal within few weeks.. this pain in the chest may be injury to costal nerves, hence it will pain severely.. but if the pain is associated with inspiration expiration, then need to take one chest x ray to rule out rib fracture...

Take care..
