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 slipped on a plastic lid and fell hitting my mid back on edge of a brick step. Went to ER and was told i had rib contusion. This was two weeks ago and im still in pain..from front ribs to middle of back on right side. Ive been resting but tried playing pool last night and cried myself to sleep i hurt so bad. Wondering why my ribs hurt more than my back does since that is where i made contact with the brick step. Also..how can i relieve the pain? Finally...will this be an injury that will haunt me in the future? Thank you.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this was the fall injury have some symptoms of pain then it has to be sent for investigation and x-ray is advisable, till then Tab Ibuprofen can be tried, due to soft tissue injury pain may more likely and it will take some time for healing hope this information helps.
