Sprained Ribs
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
