Fell on back month ago but the knot is still in front by rib cage?

Be seen: I would consider being seen. It is possible that. In the same fall in which you hurt your back. You fractured a rib or dislocated a joint between a rib and your sternum. An exam and perhaps an x-ray can make sure you have not had a more serious injury.
