Rib Cage Injury

While running my dog four nights ago, I tripped and fell.
When I smacked into the cement (with 165 lbs of running momentum), I landed with my left hand fisted between the cement and my chest. I don’t think anything’s broken, my breathing isn’t impacted, and there’s no visible swelling or bruising. It’s just that the pain is INCREASING instead of DECREASING. Is this to be expected? Other that Ibuprofen, any treatment suggestions? Bind it or not? Thanks, Donna

    Binding is not recommended. But seeing a doctor is. If the pain is increasing something is not right. Get it checked out pronto then get back to me at my e-mail and let me know what he found out and then I can go from there. Good luck, Mya
