How To Treat Soreness And Pain In Ribs Along With Gastritis After Back Injury?
After a hard fall, flat on my back (roller skating 40 years old) I developed moderate pain under my left ribs. Pain has gotten worse over 3 or 4 days. Hurts to yawn. Went to NP yesterday who did a chest xray that came back negative. She diagnosed me with sore ribs made worse by lots of gas and feces. Mag Citrate was prescribed. As of today I ve had 3 bowel movements but still in really bad pain. Could spleen or pancreas be damaged? I am supposed to be back at work tomorrow but don t see how I can.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, with the history of fall on the chest particularly on rib side then this may cause fracture of rib and if this is not the fracture then this could be soft tissue inflammation, which could cause such pain with "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg this can be well managed, hope this information helps, take care.
