What Causes Pain In The Ribs Even After Medication?
I had a virus for a couple of weeks with violent coughing fits. Now my ribs hurt real bad on the left side and I assume I fratured a rib. However the symptoms seem to be getting worse. It's been about 2 weeks now. I have been using ice, ibuprofen and no lifting. My concern is why is the pain getting worse?
