Question
Hello.  I fell and cracked acouple ribs on my left side and have been dealing with pretty bad pain when I turn, laugh, cough, sneeze, stretch and touch it so I followed up with my Dr.  We did more x-rays and the result was my ribs being deformed with a concave.  Any advise on a next step?  Thank you!

Answer
Dear Sarah,

How long has it been since you cracked your ribs?  Has it healed completely even though there were some sign of deformity as you described it.  

The next best thing to do is to let it heal and a chiropractor can manage the pain and the rib if it is out of position.
