Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Consult A Doctor As I Am Having Soreness Due To A Fall?
I am 54 years old, weight 112lbs. I fell down my stairs this morning, about 7 or 8 steps. I am at work a little sore. I scraped my hand but nothing seems to be broken. Should I just take some tylenol for the soreness or should I see a docto to be sure.
Hi welcome to HCM, Actual pain and stiffness will come tomorrow. You can try Tylenol or Motrin, and only if there is severe problem, you may need to consult a doctor. If there was a fracture, you would already be experiencing severe symptoms--Regards
