What Causes Severe Pain In Left Side Of The Ribs Post An Injury?
A few months ago I fractured my ribs on the left side. About four days ago I went to lift something from the floor and felt an incredible pain shoot through my left side again. I m in excruciating pain. It hurts to even take a deep breath. Could I have fractured my ribs again??
it might be a fracture or it even can be just a soft tissue injury. apply diclogel in the area and wrap hot bandages. look for any swelling or blue discolouration which are signs of fracture. take nsaids for pain
