Suggest Treatment For Ribs Pain
Hi, my ribs have been hurting on and off for three months now, I went to a doctor like 2 months ago and they said it wasnt broken and they gave me pills to relieve pain. They still are hurting me, you have any ideas or tips to make them heal faster or just tips?

hi
Rib or chest strapping is ususally done for injured ribs and should heal by 6weeks.Take pain medicines and apply voltaren gel and avoid jerks, coughing and painfulactivities.For reevaluation, an new xray may be needed, so see a orthopedic doctor
thanks
