Suggest Treatment For Swollen Knee, Pain In Ribs And Under Left Breast

I rolled off a run away horse on 5/23 and landed on my left side in gravel. I bruised my side well, knee to head. I am sure I bruised my ribs but are not broken. My knee is still swollen but has reduced in size, lots of bruises and my legs were sore. But today I have new bruises on the other side of my left leg, is that normal? The muscles under my left breast didn t hurt initially but now hurt all the time. Not sure I should wear a bra or not, (I had on an underwire bra at the time of the fall). Someone said I should wrap my ribs? For how long? Not sleeping well, uncomfortable. Rebecca

Hi,

Once, you must undergo a chest X-ray, a physical examination and get an orthopedist's opinion. A short course of antibiotics are to be taken at least [empirically you must take 875mg of Amoxyclav] listen smooth meditating music at time of sleep.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
