Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ribs And Breathing Difficulty After An Accident
I tripped and fell walking from my sidewalk onto my driveway. I landed pretty hard, but on my right side, just under my breast I landed ontop of my purse. My ribs are sore to the touch and it hurts to breathe, the pain extends into my back ribs right under the edge of my scapula.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you might have a rib fracture. For confirmation you can get chest x ray .If there is fracture then you need to follow these.
1.Avoid any jerky or travelling activities.
2.Hot water fomentation.
3.Volini gel local application.
4.Voveron tablet or ultracet tablet daily.
Pain relief will take fifteen days to one month but you will be fine. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
