Sprained Ribs

2017-04-28 15:59:14
I met with a car accident 12 days back and luckily survived. The seat belt saved me. But left a sprain in my left lower rib as it passes over it. I consulted an Ortho who also took an x-ray and found just a sprain but no Crack . He gave me painkillers for a week which gave an instant relief but after the 10th day the pain started coming back and now it's growing everyday. Should I go back to the ortho or consult a physiotherapist ? Kindly advice
