What Is The Cure For The Nausea And Tenderness In The Area Of Accident?

This is going to be a strange one. I was setting up a new hard drive at work and I went to plug it in and the cord was too short. I had the hard drive on a shelf above and it feel right into the center of my shoulder blades. It feel from about 3 feet on to my back and the hard drive is about 5 lbs. I am not in a lot of pain but it seemed to knock the wind out of me and I feel somewhat nauseous. The area that was hit by the hard drive is a little tender but I can move fine.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is no reason for you to feel nauseous unless hard drive has hit on your head, so don't worry if it has not happened. Try to have lot of fluids it will help you out, and on tenderness you may apply hot pack twice a day and gently massage it with any pain releiving spray or gel.

Avoid sneezing, coughing as it might be painful, sit straight with back supported and sleep on your sides instead of sleeping straight. Even if it does not get relieved in one or two days contact any orthopedics as you might require medical assistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
