Can Stomach Bruising Cause Pain In Ribs?
I fell on a chair a couple of weeks ago and had some bruising on my stomach. Now , I have pain on my ribs on my left side that is quite painful when touched and when I turn in bed and just a general dull ache at other times. Could this be related to the fall? Also, I have read so much on the internet about an enlarged spleen causing this and now I am really concerned.

i suggest you take it seriously and see a doctor
