What Causes Tingling Pain In Ribs After Accident?
9 days ago I was racing go carts and hit the wall. The seat was forced into my rib cage. No visable bruising & my ribs feel fine. However, I am experiencing discomfort on the right side of my rib cage, both front & back side and the discomfort doesn't seem to be getting better after 9 day. I'm most uncomfortable when sitting or in bed sleeping. And at times experience "tingles" on the front side of my rib cage. The same feeling you have when your leg "falls asleep". Otherwise it feels like cramps.
