I have a co-worker who s bronchitis turned into lower left lobe pneumonia. She finished her meds, 1 week ago.She is in pain in her lower ribs. After 6 xrays, no reason they say for pain. She couldn t move on her side , she thought she should have had catscan or something else. She thought it be something torn/fractured in between ribs?

That is less likely there may be pleural effusion or atelectatic lung which might causing this pain to occurs .because there is no fall history fracture is less likely.
