Hi, I fell on a ceramic floor 11 days ago and took weight on left breast (wearing a wired bra) and right knee as I was holding a glass vase and spectacles. Right knee gone through various shades of purple, black and now fading. Left breast (FF cup- natural, not implants) has been extremely painful particularly when sneezing, coughing and deep breathing- laughing hurts too! There have been no visible signs of bruising on the breast. The pain is under the breast where the wire of the bra cup goes, particularly towards the right front . Moving position in bed is very uncomfortable as is getting out of bed. I have been taking ibuprofen which definitely helps. I am concerned I may have fractured a rib. Any thoughts?
Hi, You can take simple analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist despite taking pain killers, you can consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. Wishing you good health. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussai
