Last Monday I fell in my bathroom onto the ceramic tile. It's a step down so all the force hit my right back shoulder.  I felt no pain in my back, but instantly felt pain right front under my breast and ribs.  I fell so hard, I became sick to my stomach.  I have had rib x-rays with no fractures.  I am taking Vicodin, but not helping.  Right now it is painful to do much of anything.  I can't sleep.  Sneezing, coughing, sitting, standing, pretty much everyday life is painful.  Even the hiccups hurt.  When will the pain subside?  When should I go back to see my doctor?
hello. Have you tried applying warm compress or liniments into the affected area?What kind of pain  is it?is it like electric shock, piercing, sharp or dull? I think you should go back to your doctor again to see what else can be ruled out besides bruised ribs. Describe what kind of pain you are having.
