What Causes Painful Ribs And Shoulders Post Injury?

Hi Yesterday I went to this trampoline place with a foam pit and did a flip from the trampoline into the pit but during it a hit my back into the edge of the platform. The whole day today theres really bad pain around my ribs just under my chest, my upper back and shoulders and my whole neck. Whenever I laugh pain shoots in my ribs and I can t really turn my upper body without huting myself and haven t been able to breath normally. Also I have the feeling of throwing up in my stomach. I m scared if it has something to do with my spinal cord Please help, I can t see a doctor and the hospital is too far.

Hello,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from muscular pain following hitting your back into the edge of the platform.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics ( diclofenac / ibuprofen three times a day after meals). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. However you can get his chest x ray done to exclude bony pain.It is unlikely to any injury to spinal cord. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
