Experiencing Pain Under The Front Rib Due To A Fall
last week I had a fall where I got knocked to the ground by a charging horse. I blacked briely and had a headache and whiplash for a couple of days. Theses have now gone but i also had a pain under my front ribs that felt like i had been doing sit ups and had sore stomach muscles. This has persisted, any clues. I didnt get any medical treatment as I live too far away from a town.

any contusion on the rib causes this type of pain and takes a lot of time to get relived. this could well be a contusion from the fall and shall go off slowly. this may upto 3-5 weeks of pain killers hot fomentation and application of local pain killer ointment or jelly
