Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Going to try to make this short. 2 weeks ago I had to get my car unstuck from the snow twice in 1 day. I was pushing with all my strength both times. 2 days following that I got a dull pain in my middle back, nothing really too painful tho. The following day the pain had moved from my back to my right side by my ribs. It's a little sore to the touch. Only slightly visible bruise. Little swollen too. But it hurts like no other. Sometimes I will get these horrible muscle spasms in my ribs. The pain has gotten better over the past 2 weeks. So if you maybe have been in the same place as me, what do you think I did to my ribs? Muscle strain, pull, tear? Or maybe broke a rib? Thanks for reading.
Hi, It seems that due to heavy pushing strain on back and chest muscles might give rise to muscle pull and heavy strain leading to spasm of muscles. there is less likely of having teat or fracture as now pain is subsiding. Nothing to worry, gradually it will be alright. Ok and take care.
