I fell and thought I had broken a rib, however after I had an xray, the doctor said, no ribs were broken. There was calicum deposit on my ribs and he said the crack I had heard was probably from the calicum deposit. He told me to get something for pain and not do anything for a couple of weeks. I should ve asked him if there s any long term affects from these deposits. could you tell me, thank you.
