Pain in right ribs
Hi, I met with a minor bike accident 3 weeks back. Since then I started feeling pain in my right side ribs just under my right breast. Earlier, I thought its a normal muscle pain & will vanish with time so I started using Volini gel/hot gel bag for treatment for 2 week. As I felt no improvement, I went for the Xray scan as per doctor's suggestion. X ray report was normal so doctor suggested me normal pain killer medicines for muscle pain. I have been taking those medicines since a week now but still pain is stagnant. Pain is more strong during minor body movements, sudden shocks while travelling in bus/car/bike/rikshaw & during hiccups. I cant turn my sides during sleep.
Please guide how should I get this cured. I'll be very thankful.
Thanks.

First of all, you don't need to worry as there is no sinister issue.Most likely it is a rib fracture which is now partially healed and can not be detected by chest x ray.
USG chest is recommended.
