What Do Headaches And Discomfort Below The Rib Cage After An Accident Indicate?

I was involved in an auto accident on Jan 30th... was hit pretty hard and dragged 40 plus feet. i have no serious injuries... but have found that, even now, i'm still stiff and sore in quite a few places, and was having some mild headaches, and some discomfort below my lower rib cage both in front and back. Should I be concerned? I also have osteoporosis. and am thinking that is why i still feel these things. no bleeding or any broken bones.

Hello,

Road accident should never underestimate and it has to be taken for investigation regardless of the nature of injuries and of course it is latter concern, soft tissue injuries always have inflammatory condition and may be caught by infection if care not being taken, it is most advisable to see the emergency room for better management and to rule out the silent features of injuries.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
