What Is The Remedy For Severe Back Pain After An Injury?

I fell 3 days ago and have severe back pain and my abdoman area seems to be bloated. I had an exray at my chiropractors office he said I broke one rib and fractured another. the pain is very sharp when I rise from a sitting position or sit down from a standing position. I know doctors don't treat ribs just let them heal. What should I do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
You may need to do MRI or HRCT to see details of injury and to see for any lung puncture.
If there is lung injury then there will be increasing pain with every breath.
I will advise to consult to orthopaedic surgeon.

Medication like muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain along with it use rib support belt.
You may consult physiotherapist for pain management. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you find this answer helpful do not forget to give rating at end of discussion.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
