Out in nowhere jungle
 
25 year old received a falling branch from aprox 30 feet (6" diam)
Hitting flank
Small abrasion
Considering the trauma there is very littl pain to report or illicited by deep palpation
ABD soft non-tender, no guarding, no kidney tenderness
Does remark a discomfortable pain when bringing back down the leg on the affected side
(no proble leifitng the leg
 
Anyway not much to read about
