Lower abdominal pain after falling from stairs. Matter of concern?
Patient: I was walking downstairs with a bunch of empty water bottles to put in a recycling bin and being my clumsy self, i slipped and fell. I landed on my lower back and whats strange is that my back didn't hurt. It seemed as though all the shock had been transferred to my lower abdomen. What I'm worried about is that after an hour or so, it still hurts. Should i be worried? Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMWait for some time at least 8 to 10 hours if your pain becomes more severe then it need to be examined, if it start declining gradually then nothing to worry about it but you will have to treat the pain too, Ibuprofen 400 mg is the best drug and try this, and I am sure this will come around soon take care and have nice day.
