Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Right-sided Chest Pain And Mild Nausea After An Injury?
58 year old female in good health. Fell from ten foot ladder. Landed on right side. Didn t go to dr because no insurance. So sore couldn t get comfortable to sleep. Pretty sure cracked wrist and a rib. Wore a wrist brace five weeks and just resting. Arm bruised everywhere. After five weeks I still have a pain behind my right breadt that goes front to back. I always feel just slightly nauseated. Then suddenly hunger pain. My elastic waisted shorts are now very uncomfortable at waist.
Hello, Thank you for using healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. I think you had fractures of the ribs with internal bleeding in the lungs or pnumothorax ( air in the lungs). That may cause you the nausea feeling.Normaly this would be complains of the first days after the injury. After 5 weeks now, the fracture of the ribs is healed alreadybut you may have blood collection remained inside your lungs that is causing this problem. It may require more time from your body to absorb the blood. I wish you quick recovery. Dr. Selmani
