Should I Be Worried About The Pain And Tenderness In The Ribs?
I broke my ribs ( under left breast ), over 3 months ago. I have had no pain the past 4-5 weeks, but in the past few days I have developed pain and tenderness in the same area. Painful to stretch and move, especially getting out of bed. Is this a normal occurance?

Hello,
It is due to local inflammation and will settle by itself.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
