Numbness after rib fracture

2023-07-31 15:31:09
My 69 year old mother had Rib fracture in her right side 2nd, 3rd and 4th rib and has pain only on movement, while coughing.. No pain while no movement.. Doctor said it will heal on it's own.. But now my mother is saying she is feeling numbness on her right side and also a little on her left side.. Is this normal? Or should we do something about this? Please tell me 🙏 I request 🙏
