Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Due To Broken Ribs
I broke a back rib very cleanly about 17 months ago and it healed well and there was only occasional pain. Now I am getting quite severe pain at times, it can stop me breathing and is quite sharp. Do you think I might have cracked it. I do Yoga regularly so the muscle area is getting stretched which is surely a good thing?

Hello,
You might be having a muscular pain. Tylenol 500 mg and Advil 600 mg every 6 hours after food may be used to relieve the pain.
If you notice no improvement with this treatment in a few days or if you notice any worsening or new symptoms you will need to see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
