Hi, I think I bruised my ribs...left hand side... On Saturday and today the pain has got worse it is now a constant stabbing pain and really hurts whenever I do anything especially put pressure on the left side do I need the doctors or just pulled a muscle maybe?
Hi, I appreciate your concern. It seems u have injured your rib on left side. Leading to muscle tenderness also, and hurts on move ments.it is advisable to get an x-ray of chest done to rule out possibility of fracture in rib. As treatment is concern, avoid taking pressure on left side for at least 10 days, some times tapping is needed if pain on breathing, along with local pain receiving cream, warm fomentation, .also to consult your or tho expert for checking.thanks.I will be happy to answer any future query.
