Suggest Treatment For Rib Pain Caused By An Injury
I lost balance & fell backwards against a wall. I slammed my back into it as I slid to the floor. I am wondering if I go to urgent care that they could really do anything because I am in a lot of pain. I heard that ribs heal themselves. I already take Aleve for my arthritis pain.

Hello,
Most likely your pain should get relieved by taking a combination of :
Tablet paracetamol 500mg and aceclofenac 100mg twice a day for three days. Take hot fomentation for pain relief.
However , kindly visit an orthopaedician for an Xray to check for any minor fractures.
