Specializes in Pain Management

Need X-rays: Since you had trauma, x-rays are indicated. If it shows some broken ribs then it will take time to heal and the pain will improve with time and meds. Spine fracture would be less common given your age. If you do not feel better in the next week i would go back for further evaluation.
