I was in a car accident in August , however i am still experiencing soreness and tenderness where my stomach was bruised from the seatbelt. the day of my car accident they ran a CT scan but found nothing. I just was wondering if i should be worried about the pain i’m still experiencing with my abdomen region or is it normal for it to still be tender after 3 months?
3 months ost trauma is a long time. If you still experience pain in your abdomen, you should seek an MRI scan, that is about 10x more sensitive the CT. It will probably show a blood leak somewhere in the area where you have pain. The question is then, should you see a surgeon? If it is a ruptured blood vessel, then yes, If not, give it another 3 months.
