Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a couple of floating ribs that keep moving out. I am eighteen. They were hit at work today and have been hurting since the afternoon. Is there anything I can do to diminish the pain? I am trying to study but sitting up straight hurts, as do most sitting positions. Unfortunately I can t type comfortably. Do you have any suggestions to help now, in the future, or to make it so they are less prone to moving?
i suggest you to keep some ice packs which will reduce the pain and local inflammation over that area ... do some breathing exercise too for now ... it should bother you in the future ... except u get hurt
