Last week I slipped on some black ice and landed on my back at around 7pm. It hurt a little, but no big deal. At about midnight that same nigh, I woke to severe pains in my abdomen, just below my rib cage. It felt like gas pains, which I rarely have, so I tried a chewable simethicone. After a few minutes, the pain subsided and I could feel the gas moving around. Since that night, Ive had several instances when I feel the pain coming on and I take the simethicone and it helps. Im just wondering if I may have screwed something up inside or is it possible that I just pulled some abdominal muscles and am just more sensitive to the gas pains. Thanks in advance!!
Hello, I have studied your case. I think there can be due to some abdominal injuries. There is also a chance that it is not related to your fall. In both cases you need to get ultrasound examination of the abdomen and check if there is any abnormality of any structure. If this is due to problem of digestion then it will also become clear after ultrasound. According to that we can plan further management. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
