What Causes Severe Pain In Mid Back And Rib Cage Post Trauma?
I fell 2 months ago and fell on my buttocks and still have pain in my middle back and rib cage. I had an x-ray at the time but it was just of my back. What could I have injured in my rib cage area and should I still have quite a pain in both places after this long.

Hello,
It may require detailed evaluation to rule out fracture.
For further assessment you may require chest x ray, MRI back after orthopedic surgeon consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
You may require slab.
Continue breathing exercises.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
