I have fibromyalgia and fell in the bath tub last September on my left side. I had an x-ray done of my ribs whicChatDoctore back negative for fracture. I didn t bruise in this area just on my hip. Since then that side of my ribs is sore most of the time. I m wondering if the fibromyalgia has something to do with it?
In my opinion you did the x-ray scan as soon and the incident occurred BUT a crack in your bone does not show clearly unless x-ray is done 1 week after the injury it is vert hard to recognize in the initial x rays I suggest redoing an x-ray especially if pain increase during bed rest or movement and goes away in sitting or standing if that is not the case then you can suspect fibromyalgiaGood Luck
