I fell and hurt my ribs on the right side. I don t think anything is broken,but something isn t right. It s been a week. most things don t hurt but some things hurt alot. I m afraid to get an x-ray because its over my heart. Most of the pain is when I lay down, it hurts more when lying on my right side.Sometimes when i get up it just feels like things are squished! The question is how long would bruised ribs hurt, and what else could be causing the pain.
Hi, It may be due to minor contusions that have developed following the fall. Nothing much to worry and you can take analgesics like Tramadol or acetaminophen for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
