Should I concern a doctor? |
About a week ago I went bike riding with a old freind and when we were coming down a road he pulled in front of me and my front tire hit his back tire and I stopped instantly, flew over the handle bars and my leg caught the seat and smask really hard up against it and my right arm went right in front of me and stopped me all I got was a small cut, which i got all the dirt out and disinfected. 2 days later I have this really bad pain in my bicep like i just got hit with a hammer and it went away after a hour or so. The next day my leg did the say thing expect it was in the knee area. Now today I am having the worst pain in both and it not just my bicep now its my entire arm; from my knuckles to my shoulder, and it is still in the knee area. My knee could still be bruised from a month ago when my little cusin kicked in my knee, but I'm sure thats healed. So should I concern a doctor, because every day the pain intensefies and last longer? =( If your arm/leg is turning red and / or swollen, you might worrry about it. IF I WERE YOU, I'd take some some anti-inflamatory drugs, (Motrin or naproxyn) for a bit first say 4 days. Probably have some real deep hellaous bruises that need to heal. If swollen and or red, then could have something more serious and need xrays and maybe an ultrasound. But if your frightened then by all means...ease your mind and go see you FAMILY DOCTOR. An Ortho or Neuro doc are expensive, hard to get into, and if needed your family doc can get you a quick appointment. Source(s): Paramedic 27yr You were in a BIG accident. Yes! Get to a doctor tomorrow. Good luck, hon. :) Nurse. Yes please consult a Orthopedian doctor and Neuromuscular doctor. Absolutely. I have been an x ray tech for 24 years. One thing I have learned is that not all injuries manifest right away. If you are having increased pain that lasts for longer periods of time you need to be seen. There may be an injury that was not apparent at the time of the accident. Medical Background |
