Hi, Snowboarding last week caused me to fall on my bum rather hard, and while it was painful, it wasn t excrutiating. I didn t board for the rest of the week though bacause i was nervous of falling again. Now home and it s still causing me pain. i m guessing its a muscular stretch of the glutes? it hurts when i bend down. should i go to my doctor? (yeah, yeah of course i should but..i dont have much faith in them from past experience) or are there any stretching excercises that would help my mobility? Thanks, Michelle (UK)
Hi, First and the most important thing is getting the x-ray of the affected part. Get done the test as soon as possible. You can't say whether it is a soft tissue injury or a bony injury without x-ray or ct scan. Till then take OTC painkiller and cold fomentation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
