Question 5

what are the symptoms of a bruised rib- what does it feel like?

Accepted Answer

Pain: A bruised rib is mainly painful, especially if you breathe in or if you push on it. A chest or rib xray can tell if the rib is bruised or broken, although, in reality, unless there is collapse of the lung, there is nothing really to do about a broken rib except for time and healing.

Question 6

are there symptoms of bruised ribs? if so, what are they?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Pain/discomfort which may be increased with respirations.

Question 7

how to treat fractured or bruised back ribs?

Accepted Answer

Rest &amp; time: Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment for rib injuries. Any type of strapping or taping leads to complications such as pneumonia without aiding in recovery. Time, over the counter medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and gradually increasing activity as your discomfort allows is the treatment.

Question 8

what are the symptoms of bruised or cracked ribs?

Accepted Answer

Difficulty breathing: Injured ribs can cause pain with chest expansion as the air-filled lungs and chest expand with each breadth. Treatment is usually supportive and activity is limited by tolerance to pain. Like mostfractures, ribs can take upwards of 6-8 weeks to heal.

Question 9

i fell onto the edge of a bed. landed on my ribs or back? it's bruised. can't bend back can't lie down or sit down. stand up on a tilt what've i done

Accepted Answer

I suggest you: go visit your doctor for an evaluation. Only after a physical examination will he/she be able to tell who what exactly may or may not be going on.

Question 10

unexplained bruising on left under ribs. 3 painless bruises. no injury or other symptoms. ?

Accepted Answer

Monitor: Hi, is this just a random thing or do you get unexplained bruises a lot? If it is the former, just monitor. You could have been bruised without sensing it at the time. If it is the latter, see a doctor for more work up.
