How Long Does The Pain Due To Bruised Ribs Take To Subside?
Bike accident and bruised my ribs on my right side yesterday. Most painful when I go to lie down and then move while I m lying down, and then trying to sit up from laying down. Obviously it depends on how badly bruised the ribs are, but when should the pain start to decrease? Also, what would be the easiest/less painful way to lie down and then get up?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if it is the fracture part of rib then pain will be there for long time and better to get done the x-ray first, if it is not the fracture the soft tissue inflammation will be alright within week NASID can be tried and best would be Tab Ibuprofen hope this information helps.
