A member asked:

Broke my 2nd and 3rd ribs 2 weeks ago and has not gotten better even with rest, ice and medication. symptoms now include nausea. what is wrong?

Need Ortho eval: You need to be seen by an Orthopedic specialist to determine the extent of your injury and the significance of the symptoms. It's hard to give you the right answer without proper examination. Nausea could be a side effect of the medication you're taking and that may need to be changed.
