I was released yesterday from the er due to a bad fall that potentially cracked a rib I have been taking nsaids as well as low dose lortab and was curious to what symptoms I need to look for as far as the situation worsening as I am still in severe pain in general as well as when I breath in?
Hello, Single rib fracture does not cause many problems apart from pain. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.  If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for a CT thorax. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
