A member asked:
What can i do if my lowers ribs are sore to the touch, never broken one though, help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I have never: Seen anything work better for severe rib pain than auricular acupuncture. I have treated people with multiple fresh fractured ribs that narcotics didn't touch - whose pain dropped to a 0 to a 2/10 pain from pain ranges from 7 to 10/10. I really wished i knew about acupuncture when my rib was snapped in half.
