How Can A Painful Injury Below The Rib Cage Be Treated?
Several months ago I seemed to have rolled against the kitchen counter edge on my left side right below the rib area. Since then I have a dull pain in the same area. Could it be an injury to the floating rib? I recall immediate immense pain to that spot when it first happened. If it is a rib, how long until it totally heals?

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
