How Can severe Abdominal Bloating Be Treated?
Hi last week I fell and fractured my 8th rib. I have been very bloated not only where I was injured but my abdomen is bloated and side of impact is hard to touch. Also gassy. Had a CT scan that showed no further injury. Is this normal and when will it go away?

Hello,
It is the rib pain related internal pulling of abdomen muscles which give you sensation of bloating all the time.
Along with analgesic , proton pump inhibitors as Omeprazole or else, I recommend deep breathing exercises and bulk forming laxatives for best results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
