What Is Causing My Lack Of Appetite And Stomach Upset?
I fractured a rib on Monday night - went to hospital, got a heap of medication and told to rest. Now, it still bloody agony and I haven t been able to go out the house - mostly in a chair(sleeping too). To make things worse, yesterday and today, I haven t been able to eat anything and my wife says I m yellow - could this be related to the rib? Could my upset stomach be related to medication? I can t even keep down a glass of water. I take omiprazole, tramadol, tolperisone and diclofenac.

Hi,
Firstly, keep in mind that you are having a fracture and it is nothing trivial. Gastric upset you are having is because of the medication you are taking. You need to add an antacid in your medicines and limit the use of painkillers instead use cold fomentation to relieve pain. Walk and sit though it causes pain but you have to bear it for your betterment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
