Black and blue bump on the back after falling. Hurts while bending, sneezing. Damaged rib?
Hi doc; I slipped on an icy step and banged my lower back rip cage , ( not lower back ). I had a small bump develope on that same area which I landed on. I put a heat pad which seemed better the next day. A small black and blue appeared. But an extra sharp pain came back while bending over. And a sharper hard pain hit me hard when I had sneezed. ouch! . Do I have a bad bruise or a damaged rip? Help! Thank you Doc. Again not my lower back, neck nor spine problem ok. (back lower end rib only)

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The bump on the lower rib is suggestive of a hematoma formation in the area which might have developed after a soft tissue injury or a fractured rib in the area. You need to have rest and take a mild pain killer for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
