Be checked: If the pain has been severe for 2 months, i would certainly encourage you to be seen. There are multiple causes includingusculoskeletal- such as another broken rib or fractured vertebrae; to more internal causes such as a kidney or gallstone, an aneurysm, or other intra thoracic or intra abdominal problem. Appropriate exam and testing can usually determine the cause. Be seen.
