Hello Thanks for writing to us; I have studied your case with diligence. Due to fall there can be injury to rib or spine. I will advise you MRI and CT scan to confirm diagnosis. Watch out for breathless less, dizziness, sweating. Avoid sudden movement, take rest, use rib supportive belt. Medication like muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain along with it use rib support belt. You may consult physiotherapist for pain management. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. You may need to take rest for early healing. Hope this answers your query.
