Suggest Treatment For Pain After A Fall
I had a fall a week ago after being pulled over by my dog. I landed on a concrete path only right side at full stretch. I ended up having bruising to right arm hip and knee.
It hurts on right chest area when I breath and any movements really hurts in the upper right ribs under right arm and right breast area.
I've been taking anti inflammatories but pain still really bad. Should I see a doctor???

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having fractured rib on right thoracic cage.
Go for x-ray of chest AP view to know weather fracture is there or not.
If there is linear fracture is there, nothing to worry, gradually it will be united.
If there is displaced fracture, you might required strapping on the part.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
