What Is The Treatment For Pain In Ribs?
Hello last week i slipped on ice and fell hard landing flat on my back. now my ribs on my leftside hurt but only when there is direct pressure on it, i cannot wear a bra,lay on that side or even get a hug due to the pain. i dont think my ribs are cracked or broke because i can sneeze and cough without and discomfort.

There can very well be some tiny fractures in your ribs.. However there is no need for any interventions for the same..
Just apply painkiller gel over the ribs thrice a day for about a week and in severe pain you can take some oral painkillers like Tab. Diclofenac ..
