Hello
Thanks for writing to us,
I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your history of trauma there is possibility of rib contusion.
Rib contusion is not always visible on X ray .You may need to do MRI or HRCT to see details of injury .
If there is
lung injury then there will be increasing pain with every breath, coughing and sneezing.
I will advise to consult to
orthopaedic surgeon.
Medication like
muscle relaxant and
analgesic will reduce pain along with it use rib support belt.
You may consult physiotherapist for pain management. He may start TENS, or
ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you find this answer helpful do not forget to give rating at end of discussion.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
