I was laying there in my garage for a quite a while, but my daughter found me after a few hours
and helped me up. We came right to the ER afterwards. (Clarified to how long after my fall I

have you been having any pain prior to the fall
It doesn't hurt too bad right now. The meds they gave me in the ER helped with that.
can you describe the pain
It's like a sharp, nagging feeling. Kind of like someone's been jabbing my leg over and over
again.
can you tell me where the pain is
In my lower left leg, around the calf. It was getting hard to bear... I was thinking of coming here
even before I fell this morning.
Any stingy or burning (No matching questions found.)
have you notice any burning sensation in leg (Clarified to Have you had burning sensations?.)
No, but my leg does seem a bit warmer than usual. (Clarified to if I have had burning
sensations.)
Does anything make the pain worse
Even if I do nothing, it gets more painful but I definitely can't walk on it without a whole lot of
pain.
What treatments have you tried to help with pain
Well, I tried resting the leg and taking some Advil but nothing seemed to work. It just kept on
hurting.
Have you tried heat or ice? (Clarified to Have you tried a heating pad for the pain?.)
I usually use a heating pad for my arthritis pain, but it didn't seem like it would do any good
earlier today, so my daughter just brought me straight here. (Clarified to if I have tried a heating
pad for the pain.)
Did you use any ice?
No, I didn't think of it at the time.
Can you rate your pain now on a scale 0-10? (Clarified to Can you rate your current pain level
on a scale of 0 to 10?.)
Right now, I'd call the pain a 2. I know it's there, but it feels much milder than it did. (Clarified to
how I would rate my pain on a scale.)
I am sorry you are uncomfortable. Lets see what I can do to make you feel bett
