Hi there, i was elbowed in the chest a week ago and still suffering from chest pain. suspect it's bruised or fractured but i need to go get a scan and need a referral. can you assist?

Rib bruise: Bruises of the ribs may take time to heal. If there is significant pain with breathing, a rib series may be ordered by your physician to rule out a fracture. Apply local ice and then heat for 20 minutes at a time, take Ibuprofen for relief. If these measures are helpful and you do not have pain with breathing, a few more days and rest may help to resolve the problem.
