Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I broke my first rib several years ago and it recently started hurting again. At the time of the injury the doctor said the bike was not properly lined but would not be reset because the surgery would hurt more than it would help. Is there anything that can be done?
Rib contusion is not always visible on X ray .You may need to do MRI or HRCT
You may consult physiotherapist for pain management. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. Local injection therapy may help after long years of injury.
