What Is The Recovery Period For Pain And Chest Wall Contusion Caused After Injury?
My spouse was recently in an auto collision of 40mph to 0 in less than 5 feet. Air bag deployment saved her life but burned her hands and was further diagnosed with chest wall contusion , which cause severe pain from any muscular contraction of her upper abdominal region. If this contusion was the only physical injury would normally take more than 4 weeks to heal to the point of little or no pain?
chest wall is to be given rest. if required strapping has to be one. take tab combiflam two times daily. if no fracture of rib then recovery will be slowly achieved. in 4weeks time it will be normal.
