Suggest Remedy For Sharp Pain In Arm And Rib Cage
I had a fall from a bike, I hurt my my right should joint and my right rib cage, x-rays indicate no damage to the bone, the ortho told me its just abrasion in the muscles/tissue, prescribed pain killers for 5 days. Its been over 10 days.. though the pain has reduced, I am not able to move my Arm freely, also I get a sharp pain in my rib cage area when i cough or try to change position while sleeping. I am 40 Years old healthy Indian Male, no history of any ailment thus far.
