A member asked:

I have bruising on my back and side area, could that have something to do with broken or bruised ribs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trauma: This type of bruising is usually due to trauma. If you are experiencing rib pain you should obtain a chest xray. If there is no history of recent injury/trauma, you must have your blood checked for bleeding disorders.
