Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 28 years old, recently fell, and am fairly certain i broke a rib on my back left side. The first three days I experienced pain but I could still cough and move around without extreme pain. But I did notice that the pain was spreading from the back to the front of my ribs and all over my left side. Now day 5 and it has only gotten much worse. Now when I cough it's killer pain, and once again I feel it all over, not just in the place where i got injured. Is this normal?
