How To Cure A Crack On The Left Side Of Rib Cage ?
Hi. I recently had a car crash and i may have a cracked rib on my left side. It aches constantly and is very frustrating and uncomfortable. There is a boney lump where the pain is but my main concern is when i sneeze or cough my left arm goes tingly and hot. Is this normal?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the rib fracture are well stable then this is nothing to worry but you need to be very patience because this may take some time to heal till then be patience but later or sooner it will be fine, and then there would be no pain at all, some time rib cage brace would be fine and you can try this, hope this information helps, take care ( If the fracture is not stable then may need some surgical interventions)
