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)
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....
