What Are The Symptoms Of Muscle Spasm And Fracture?
I fell over last night & fell very hard into the edge of kitchen counter as I fell! I was winded for about 2 mins - but today the whole area & up to my waist Counteron left side is agony. If I even move I can't without screaming, involuntary! Could it just be muscle spasm or could I have broken something?!

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. It might be soft tissue injury or fracture. Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting and rest well.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
