Severe Pain Under Left Rib After Hearing Some Pop Or Rupture
hi, my name is brandy and have severe pain under my left rib. It started eariler yesterday, that at 10pm something either poppd or ruptured it was felt and heard. Since then I have problems sitting and getting up from a sitting or laying down position, and when I stand I Can NOT bend. I can squat just fine but absolutely no bending. I have no medical insurance, so i dont want to go to the hospital if it something pulled or a kidney stone.
This is quite common occurrence with rib fracture as they take long time in healing and some time it can be painful for 3 months. I would recommend you follwoing things for pain relief though coughing and sneezing will always be painful. 1. Apply hot water and Diclofenac ointment 2. Take Brufen and Ultracet tablet for pain relief 3. Avoid lying down on affected side
