[|Human|] Hi there, my question is how do I treat pain & soreness to the lower side ribs please? I fell down some stairs over 12 months ago. X-rays & Scans were clear. However. I still suffer tenderness to the lower rear rib area. Any suggestions on treatments please?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. I suspect possibility of compression of nerve leading to rib pain.This can aggravate due to injury. I will advise you to do MRI spine and orthopedic doctor opinion. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin can be started after consulting your doctor. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy may give you relief. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
