A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Trauma due to sports, falls, or other incidents should be evaluated by one's doctor (or the ER if suspecting serious injuries) unless the trauma is very mild and symptoms resolve in a day or too. With continued symptoms, the doctor can check to see what the actual injuries are and help with treatment. In a person in her mid-50's, a bruised or broken rib can lead to other issues. Doctor can check.
