Suggest Treatment For Stiffness And Pain In Rib Cage Caused By Injury
I had a bad fall, falling on my right side and resulting in a painful area around my ribcage. I did not bruise and at the moment feel better. This happened about three days ago, but I still have stiffness and some pain on my right side. If I had a bruised spleen, would I have pain only on the left side? Also, if I have a cracked rib, would I have trouble breathing without pain?

HI
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the injury to the rib cage with or without the fracture but it takes some time to come around and it may be pretty painful even if you laugh, yawn, shout, but this is nothing to worry because later or sooner this would be fine, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
