Do You Have A Dislocated Bone?
A dislocated bone can be extremely painful and always requires immediate emergency treatment to prevent it from becoming an even worse injury or causing permanent damage. Although some people are able to almost immediately know when they have dislocated a bone, some bone dislocations can be difficult to identify, especially since a dislocation can be extremely similar to a broken bone. There are specific symptoms, however, that usually accompany a dislocated bone which can help you tell whether or not you have this injury.
When you or someone you know has a dislocated bone, you should seek immediate care from the highly qualified Bellaire emergency medical experts at Neighbors Emergency Center. Contact us at 713-669-9900 where our staff is ready 24/7 to provide you with the care you need.
Signs of a Bone Dislocation
It is highly likely that a person has a dislocated bone if they exhibit the following signs:
- Inability to move the affected body part
- Severe pain
- Swelling and/or bruising
- Numbness in the body part beyond the suspected dislocation
- Misshapen body part
Waiting to treat a dislocated bone can cause serious problems, so even if you are unsure as to whether or not you have a dislocation, you should seek urgent care.
