What Must I Do About Shock To The Shoulder And Right Side Chest Muscles After A Fall?
Hello. i crashed on my shoulder and compressed my chest on my right side. my bottom bottom rib in the front is there but when standing upright i have a indent at the very bottom rib on the front of my body. i can push and flex the rib so i don’t think it’s broken but it’s inset into me compared to the left bottom rib
It doesn't seem to be anything serious, considering the fact that there is no pain or inflammation. Anyway, I recommend performing a chest X-ray study, just to be sure that everything is OK.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
