Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ribs
Avoid steroid injection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It looks like you are on the way to recovery now. As you said that pain has decrease but some discomfort is left, I think there is no need to rush to orthopedic. You can continue with analgesic and hot water fomentation.
Steroid injection is not a solution for this type of post injury short duration pain. You should avoid it.
If the pain still persist beyond 2 weeks, you can visit the orthopedic surgeon. Right now just avoid heavy activities and lying on the affected side. You can also apply topical pain gels.
I hope this answer will help you. Let me know if you want to ask any other questions.
Regards
