Pain & Pain Management - April 2007

I am trying to understand a medical procedure.

My friend recently broke his lower leg after falling from a train and was immediately taken to a rural small clinic nearby.

When I reached there after about 1/2 hour of the incident he was not writing in pain, but I was told that when he was brought there he was shrieking. His outer wounds were minimal and were dressed. But he would shriek if anyone touched his leg.

The nurse gave him a butt shot of pain killer 15 minutes after I reached there.

I now wonder if the nurse had given one shot of pain killer earlier (as soon as he arrived), because otherwise how come my friend was not writhing in pain. But his pants were still on and the belt was tight when I reached there (which had to be opened to give the shot), so it seems he had not been given that shot earlier.

What is the normal practise in India for giving first aid to fracture victims?

Do you think he would have received the shot earlier too? and his belt tightened back on?

I went to sleep and rolled onto my right side and the pain on my hip was unbearable. I had to roll to the other side. It's sore to the touch and feels like the ball joint is out of whack. Walking after sitting it is sore and stiff. I did not injury it. Just woke up with it.

I no longer get the headache part, but I still get the jagged flashing lights (scintillating scotoma). Why would the headaches go away, but the flashing stick around?

Is it common for a shin splint pain to be on the inside of the leg a few inches above the ankle. I have what feels to be a knot next to my shin. It is extremely painful to touch and is now causing problems with walking and hurting into the knee.

I do not remember injuring it, and have not re-injured it, but the back of my thigh has been killing me for about two months now. It feels like a pulled muscle, but is not getting any better. The doctor didnt have anything to say about it. Some days it hurts more than others. I am 34 years old.

Have had no MRI, only Xrays. This is workers comp case. Last workers comp doctor said knee is fractured and recommends surgery to get out broken bone and cartilage.

He says recovery time is 2-3 days.

Anyway, pain is constant. Celebrexdoesn't help, neither does vicadin, nor ultracet.

Knee immobilizer does relieve some pain, but was told I don't need to wear it any longer.

Anyone have suggestions?
