Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
fell onto stairs and injured lower left side of ribs,excruciating pain spasms with any type of movement. Layed in bed with no movement ok till tried to get up. Interrmitant spasms while walking with crutch, pain sent me reeling for the sky. Coughing does same.
The pain and spasms are due to an injury to the lower rib cage. You need a chest belt for good support. Hot compress and oral muscle relaxants will also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
