How Can Muscle Spasms After A Rib Injury Be Treated?
fell about 5 foot landed on the edge of a wooden box sideways in region of 3rd 4th ribs Now had strong stabbing pain and muscle spasms in right side back about contact point . I believe the rib[s] may be cracked but my doctor s surgery say they can do nothing but recommend rest. Should I strap up my ribs with an elastic bandage ?
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
