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.
I had a bad fall and the inside of my left leg hit the cement floor hard. I am having some shortness of breath even though I didn t hit my head. I fell three hours ago but still feel weak. I have used ice to try to combat swelling. Should I do anything else?
why did you fall? Were you short of breath before you fell? Were you lightheaded or dizzy? Did you have chest pain? Your shortness of breath is more concerning. You need to see a physician today weather it is your primary care doctor or an emergency physician.
