How To Get Rid Of Soreness On Backside Near Ribs After I Fall Back On Ground?

Male. Fell back onto ground one week ago and became sore on left side of back near ribs. Pain has migrated around the front and side lower ribs and tissue below lower left rib cage. Now abdomen is swollen on left side below rib cage and very painful to touch, bend or lay. No bruising has occurred.

You need immediate surgical attention. It can be a migratory infection. May get healed by high potency antibiotic, or may need local surgical care. You should not ignore it. It can progress to high morbid condition.
