I Got Hit In The Side Of My Torso And It Still Hurts
I got hit in the side/back of my torso . It s been 3 days and it still hurts when I move and breathe. I don t know whether I hurt my ribs or my kidney . It does not hurt much when I press on the sore spot, and I m not peeing out blood .
Hi!
welcome to healthcaremagic.com.Please do a ultrasound abdomen to know whether the injury has affected kidney or only soft tissue ,Also it would do good to take a xray of that side including the ribs and vertebrae affected to rule out fracture.Minor kidney injury doesnt cause hematuria(blood in urine).If all goes well take a course of anti-inflammotory pills like brufen for 2-3 days .It should subside.Take care.
