What Causes Pain In Neck, Back And Leg After Rib Cage Injury?
I slipped & hit my rib cage yesterday ( almost on the side just above my waist) on a patruding stationary metal box on the wall. The wind was knocked out of me. I am very sore & sometimes the pain goes upwards to my neck or down to my leg or in my back. I m not sure if I should go to ER as I know there is usually no treatment.
