Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Near The Ribs Caused By An Injury

I was in a car accident two years. I broke my 8th and 9th rib. I am still feeling sever pain. Feels like a knife being pushed in deep and is twisting. I have had steroid injections and blocks, went to physical therapy. Is it normal to be in this much pain after two years? I keep telling my doctors there s something wrong but they brush me off. It s just chronic pain . I don t know what to do.

Hi,

It is not normal to have so much pain 2 years after fracture ribs. I would suggest you visit a chest physician for chest pain and not with old fracture ribs. There may be chest contusion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
