Chest/rib pain after car accident

I'm going through this horrible pain as we speak. Do you remember how long it took for the pain to go away? Because it's been 3 days and I'm miserable already.
-thank you

Can anyone help .2 weeks ago I dropped an old arcade machine (daytona) over on myself .I am 42 and 64kilo. Went to hospital xrays show no brakes but still in pain if not more now then at beginning. I am sore on my left side just above boob, think it is called the chest plate and my left underarm is painful and the left back of shoulder blade also gives me grief.. can someone tell me what it could be. I'm in alot of pain. Can't lie down or get up without it being unbearable painful. Am taking pain killers like lollies. Please help. I am desperate to get this resolved

Go to the dr. I had accident and the dr said my rib was dislocated. He waited till I could tolerate it then manipulated it back into position. More pain again but it settled down after a few days. It started improving after that.

Hi kat27, I was in high-speed MVA too 10days ago. X-ray & scans are all clear in the ER but til now I have pains on my left ridcage just under my boob and have a hard time lying down & getting up; coughing & breathing too. What can the Epsom salt do? How will I use it?

This is what I'm experiencing I'm so scared. The doctors say they didn't see a fracture but my rib is clicking over my long and I'm scared that if it's a break it made windup stabbing me in my long and I am a mother of two And if something happens to me and nobody will be there to take care of my kids somebody help me

i got hurt at work 13 months ago and got diagnosed with a chest wall contusion from being hit and falling off a railroad car. the x rays showed nothing broke and lungs were not punctured. whenever i cough or sneeze or even move to use my chest muscles, i get a sharp pain. i cant even do situps without extreme pain . ive broken ribs before and it didnt hurt this long. going in for an mri to see if something is tore.

Yes because I'm feeling the exact same way with the exact same treatment not even therapy was hoping for results here but I see there isn't any . Mine was a head on collision

I was in an accident 2 weeks ago and I have exhilarating pain in my chest and rib area especially when I lay down at night. I had x -rays, and ultra sound with no sign of internal bleeding or injuries. I take 800 MG of Tylenol but the pain still there. I'm just hoping soon that the pain will go away. Also I had a broken knee due to the accident, and taking pain medicine for that. If anybody got a quick solution . Please reply. Thank you.

Could be costochondritis which is painful because I live with it and I was just hit by a car too

I'm 13 and I was in a car accident a couple months ago. I've had chest pain when I lay down for a couple months. I never saw a doctor or anything and now it's gotten worse. I can feel it almost all the time. The thing that confuses me the most is that I play sports and I never feel it when I do. I don't know honestly what to do.

Just because drs say your fine, means nothing, your the one feeling your symptoms. I was a front seat passenger with my seat belt on correctly....we hit a drunk driver and when I woke up I was paralyzed from waist down still in the car. No one would help move me from the burning car till one motorist passing did help n when he lifted me out by pulling up from my armpits I got an electric pain down to my toes but I could move n feel...pain but I could feel. I also couldn't catch my breath without re cracking my sternum every time. But I got to the grass on the side of the road and asked for help to just get me lying flat n motionless till paramedics came. Then I began to shake uncontrollably from spinal shock but I fought to stay still because I knew for fact I had broke my back and damaged my spinal cord mainly because of no feeling for a time period and loss of bladder function....I was discharged 2 n half hours later with just a sternal fracture and between myself n my family, we begged 34 times it stated in my medical report, for them to xray my lumbar spine of which I was lied to and told that if my back was broken then they'd see in my chest xray...Lol well I only learned that I know my body not them and also that I'm one hell of a tough 30 year old woman because for 6 days I went through the worse part because of knowing something was really wrong n extreme pain n trying my hardest to not move...finally I went back to same hospital which I walked into n I didn't ask this time, I told them where I had injuries and that same team I saw before had done the new films n I never saw any of them again. I was told by my neurosurgeon Dr. Usman Zahir that when he first saw my films, he asked where I was and they told him that I just went to the bathroom, he didn't believe them or that for 6 days I got in n out of cars because I had the most unstable fracture in t11 that was only half of a vertebrae teetertoddering on another exploded t12 vertebrae and in fact I had 9 total broken bones. Since the accident its been 4 years and I was pieced back together with cadaver bone graft, ligaments and tissue, healed up where I had 6 vertebrae fused t9-l2 with 2 14 inch rods n 10 3 n half inch screws, some pediatric, a torn heart valve, and 6 ribs, 2 tore right from my spine n were floating so he said he just didn't understand how this was so ignored, missed especially cuz he never heard it described more accurately when I said I feel like I'm being electrocuted OE jamming a knife in a toaster over n over n that I had to use my elbow locked as my temporary spine to keep my top half from sliding off my bottom half. So just listen and a second opinion can't do any more damage

I came of a quad bike husband on back of me landed on handle bars husband on top of me crushed me my wrist is in pain and 2 days gone but and I'm in really bad pain on right side of breast under my ribs lying down or picking up is impossible breathing in and coughing burst so much I'm abroad at the moment I've had xray on wrist they said it a fractured but since my ribs cage is so sore should I get a xray

My case is very similar to this and I've been living with this pain for the past 2 years but the pain has now got much worse, yet the doctors can't see anything wrong or can do about it even though I live in the UK. I have had several ct scans which didn't show anything serious but my pain is serious and worse than it was when the accident happened. It scares me a lot. What more can I do please ?

I was in an accident a week ago and i just now am feeling pain on my right side is this normal

Heat can relax muscles. If you needed ice it would feel good. You can alternate ice and heat.i did muscle relaxers one day then switched to a mild pain killer 2x a day for two days. It became managable.
