I was sleeping high on a pillow on my left side this morning when I heard a pop and felt pain in my ribs. Now there is a bruise forming over the back side of my left rib cage. It is painful.. (but tolerable)especially when I sneeze or cough. Is this serious?
Hello! The hoping sound let me think that X-ray investigation is needed to confirm fracture. Anaesthetic gel can relieve pain (Ibuprofen based)
