Suggest Medicines For A Bruised Ligament In The Back

I was rough-housing with my 6 tall son and bruised, or tore a tendon, ligament, muscle, etc on my rear left side--about 4 ribs up from bottom towards the back. I feel a snapping movement from time to time depending on how I move- usually when lying down which is very uncomfortable. I have slept in a recliner chair during the last three nights.

well have u tried breathing deeply? i mean inhaling deeply?
if its more painful you probably have a fractured rib or contused chest wall
either way any injury would benefit from anti inflammatory medications which serves as a pai reliever as well.
celecoxib 400mg once a day for 7days
30mins after a meal
