Accident - Now in pain?

Question

I had an accident last night where i slipped in the shower and fell through the glass screen (thank god i didn't break) over the bath and landed on my right hip and right elbow and shoulder.

Today i have really bad pain in my shoulder when ever i move it and pain in my elbow if i move to much, my right hip is also hurting. I have been taking ibuprofen every 4 hours but the pain isn't easing, any suggestions what i should do?

I know its not broken as i can move it all ok

Answer 1

You should definitely make a Dr's appt. Also it depends on how much ibuprofen your using, you can take up to 800mg every 4 to 6 hours.

Answer 2

Go to the ER, they doctor will have them take x-rays of your shoulder, elbow, and hip.  It's not too late to go to the emergency room...I work in a hospital and people come in that injured themselves weeks earlier.

If you really don't want to go to the ER, make an appointment with your family doctor.  But he/she is only going to send you for x-rays anyway, so might as well go to the hospital now and get it all done with in one trip.

Better safe than sorry.
