Is It Important To Visit A Doctor For Post Traumatic Severe Pain In Left Side Of Body?
I fell on my back and when I was falling my left side hit a stand. It hurts badly and constantly, but more when I take big breaths or move around. Since I fell I have been breathing slower. Also My side that I hit on the stand is swollen. I'm wondering if I should see a doctor and what might be wrong with me.
Hi, Thanks and welcome to HCM . Your symptoms suggest that you have fracture of one or more ribs. Take one X-Ray of the chest. If there is fracture consult Orthopedician and get his advice regarding treatment. Hope this answer is OKFor you. Feel free to ask more queries if needed. Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
