Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Upper Right Quadrant After Injury
I injured my ribs (right side) in a fall 4 days ago. No x-rays or medical exam have been done. Pain is increasing and my upper stomach feels bloated. Should I be concerned? I have suffered rib injury in the past, and while, painful it healed in time without intervention. I am 62 yeas old.
