Possible Rib Fracture?
Last night while entering my home I had slipped on ice and fell right on my side onto a pile of snow (which actually stop me from touching the ground) It had knocked the wind out of me. Now i have a bruise on my side rib cage and hurts when i cough and take deep breath. What should I do?
