<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I hurt my rib last Saturday. It still hurts. I have iced it and taken OTC meds, but it doesn t seem to help. I feel the doctors can t do much for a fractured or bruised rib, but my cousin says I should go. I am pretty sure they are going to tell me to continue what I was doing. I probably slowed down the healing due to I was helping my office move to another office last week this was after my injury  <response>: Thank you for your query...as because you still have not recovered, you should do the following go for an X-ray chest AP view complete bed rest for 3-4 day stake ibuprofen 400 tabs twice daily after food, omeprazole 20 tabs once daily before Food can continue cold compress visit a doctor with the reports.you should have not risked the movements you did with your injury and that might have caused some delay in healing as u fear...do as advised, and it will help your healing process...hope that was helpful...
