What Causes Back Pain And Bruised Ribs After An Abdominal CT Scan?
My 83 yr old mother is complaining of back pain . She says it feels like her ribs are bruised . She fell on oct 12 and x rays did not show any fractures. She recently had a UA,labs and an abdominal CT again there weas nothing found. This started six days ago.
It is due to d contusion sustained during fall. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
