I fell down on my right side, and feel lots of pain. Hard time taking big breath, painful when i cough, or try to push stool. I fell two days ago. I have been taking Motrin over the counter,and it helps a little, not much. I have some Robaxin , which they tell me is stronger for the pain. I need to block the pain so I can move easier and heal. I have to be able to lift a minimum of 40 lb. for my job, and I can not right no with the pain. I m 63 years old, and very active. Is there some other medication I could take that is strong like Robaxin.
HelloThanks for query. You have pain in Rt side of chest and difficulty in breathing since you fell down on Rt side. These symptoms strongly suggest fracture of the ribs and needs to be confirmed by examination by a qualified general Surgeon and taking X-ray chest. Taking rest and restricting your movements for a couple of days is absolutely essential as a part of treatment in addition to taking painkillers. I would suggest you to take either Broken or Diclofenac twice daily. Chat Doctor.
