Hi,
Sometimes there is metal reaction and the patient feels the pain.usually after the fracture is united, implants can be removed without any leftover pain. But in presence of metal reaction,the pain may continue even after the removal of the implants. if there is super added infection, then symptoms may become worse.
This treatment is being suggested on bases of the information provided. However, I would like to examine & investigate the patient in detail.
Control hypertension, diabetes or any other metabolic disorder, if there is any. Any way it may be tried,
--. Dolokind Plus (Mankind) [Aceclofenac +Paracetamol].
--. Caldikind plus (Mankind).
(You may need the help of your local doctor to get these medicines.)
--. Fomentation with warm water. Let the part not be exposed to cold air.
-- Sleep on a hard bed with soft bedding.
-- Use no pillow under the head.
-- Avoid painful acts & activities.
-- Do mild exercises for neck and shoulders and arms.
-- Take help of a physiotherapist.
-- Do not ignore, let it not become beginning of a major problem.
-- Do ask for a detailed treatment plan.
Kindly make sure, there is no allergy to any of these medicines.
--For emergency treatment visit nearest hospital.
--Wish you a quick recovery & good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
