I fell down the stairs the other day, sprained my wrists and fractured a small bone in my hand. When I was at the ER I had no rib pain at all, since then I have rib pain on both sides and an extremely sharp pain on my left side. There is no bruising, but it s the sharpest pain ever.
Hi, It is nothing but a minor contusion and fracture is very unlikely. You can take analgesics like ibuprofen or diclofenac for pain relief. Apply ice packs for faster recovery. Generally, the symptoms will subside in a couple of days and in case of persistent symptoms you can consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
