Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Fell on concrete and another persons knee went into my ribs. Went to the hospital they said nothing was broken. Later that night/early mornings were the impact was a ballon type thing had swollen were I hit my ribs. I can t move or cough or anything without hurting just laying not moving hurts severely.
Noted you have injury over rib.. Fracture not present as per your history... X ray done for its detection....
Here you might have trauma induce bruise.. There can also be inflammation of costal cartilage that is costochondritis and muscular strain associated...
Take complete bed rest.... Take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen ... Avoid strenous physical activity... Apply slight hot pad over affected area... If still pain increasing consult orthosurgeon for it.. If needed compression bandage can be applied...
Take care.. Within few days it will recover....
