Met With Accident, Chest Pain. X-ray Done Normal. Prescribed Pain Killers And Muscle Relaxants. Not Healing?
Hi doctor,
I met with an accident 2 weeks ago. since then Iam suffering with the chest pain. I had visted general physician and he sent me for an X-ray. X-ray result was normal. Physician has given me the pain killers and muscle relaxants for 2 weeks. I have been using the given medicines but they are of no use. I didn't get relief from the pain. Offcourse, its not that severe pain but am feeling discomfort especially with middle and left portion of the chest. Could you please suggest me something on this to get rid of this pain?

As the xray is normal I feel there is no fracture of any rib however a lot of times because of the impact the joints of the rib and cartilages get a little inflamed and can cause the pain. Just continue with the pain killers and you can use hot fomentation if not feeling better

Hi, it might be the result of the jerk on the stomach, or the heart, the stomach may have gastric irritation for a normal diet even. the cardiac problem may be prolonged and don't recede by it self.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazole, domperidone, and antacid gel if no relief can go for E.C.G.. Thank you.
