I was in a car accident 5 days ago. Taken to hospital with pain every where the seat belt hit me including left breast and base of ribs on left side, and shoulder and neck pain. X rays and cat scan were clear, no broken ribs or spleen issues. Today 5 days later ribs right under breast has sharp pain. Bad enough that when I move it hurts Breast has bruised deep purple completely under breast and have a small bruise at base of ribs. Any help as to cause of pain would be appreciated
Five days is a long time for any delayed rib trauma or any fracture to occur, it must be a soft tissue bleed under your breast and around rib base that has lead to formation of hematoma. So don't worry take anti-inflammatory medication containing serratiopeptidase, give hot fomentation over the bruise and relax it will take some 10-15 days to resolve.....TC care
