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 think i cracked/broke my rib a week ago (it's the 3rd time it happen in the past 15 years) This time the pain is much more severe. I can breath ( hurt to take deep breath but i force myself every hour or so). Going to sleep and waking up it's a challenge everyday. This time not like the others, i think my stomach is swollen and i keep eating all the time. I can't stay home and heal for 1-2 month. I work as an IT so it's easy not to out much pressure on the area. Just wondering if it could be something else or i'm just being paranoid? Thank you
