I got into a motorcycle accident last night and I hit my ribs (right part) on a concrete bench. Also the part around my pelvis (not sure with the right term for that). Of course, it hurts. This morning, I noticed a bruise on the pelvis part (or the pelvic bone or whatever it is called).
Right now, I feel a burning kind of pain on those parts. I also find it quite hard to breathe and walk (or stand for too long).
It was my first time to experience that but I'm aware that it's normal to feel such pain. My concern is, how long will the pain last. And what more to expect (with regards to pain) after having involved in such situation.
I was advised to get checked up (xray) but still undecided.
It's hard to tell the prognosis of something which has not been checked by a doctor. I'm an alarmist, so this is something I'd go to a GP and get it checked out ASAP to get those questions answered - and get an X-Ray to see if everything is just bruised or if there's serious damage.
Got the result of my x-ray test yesterday and it says "No fracture and dislocation of the lumbosacral sipnes. Vertebral heights and disc spaces are maintained."
I just asked my mom to get the result for me because I was at work that time. She was told to see and talk to the doctor for further explanation. But then, I said maybe it's okay not to do so since the result showed no fracture......
