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 believe that I may have bruised or cracked a rib during a fall while snow skiing. I have quite a bit of pain below my left breast. I thought it was a pulled muscle, but now I believe it may be the rib. I took a pretty hard fall on the hill on Sunday and it is now Friday night. How do I determine if it is just a muscle pull or something to do with the rib?
