Hit My Back Near Ribs And Having Extreme Pain. Feeling Comfortable. No External Bruising. Suggest
Hi I fell on Tuesday and hit the left side of my back near the bottom of my ribs very, very hard. I am in extreme pain and it seems to be feel worse rather than better. Is it possible I may have ruptured something? Or broke a rib? I am uncomfortable sitting, standing, laying and basically moving. I don't want to go the hospital if its nothing serious so I wanted to get some information. There is no exterior bruising either.

Hello friend,
Refusing to go to hospital is no wise decision. Since you had the fall on Tuesday and the pain still persists after six days, it can be due to some injury - either to the spine or to the ribs. These can be easily diagnosed by taking simple x-ray imaging . Thereafter do according the the direction of the physician or orthopaedic surgeon.
If any injury is not there, then pain can be relieved by harmless Homoeopathic medicines.
