Pain In The Back And Ribs After Strain. Pain While Breathing Or Moving. What Can Be Done?

About two weeks ago my fiancé and I were wrestling around and ever since them I have been having severe pain in my back on my ribs area. It hurts when I breathe, pick things up, when I sit down or lay down and if I move at all. It s been really bad. I dont exactly know what it could be but there are no signs/bruises on my outer skin.. It hurts constantly its not an on and off type things and it hurts more if I touch my backs where my ribs are.. Closer to the bottom ribs

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.

I have read your query in detail. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain.

To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fermentation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time for the injury to heal.

Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta.
