[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. If ribs are not broken then it can be soft tissue injury, It requires rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Moreover, displaced fracture sometimes doesn't show on x-rays. But again treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C help in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
