Bruised/ cracked rib

Bones, joints and muscles

I had a fall last Xmas while skiing. The doctor said I had bruised rib but after 13 months it still hurts. GP doesn’t seem interested and apparently there is nothing to be done. I never had an x ray so don’t know for sure if it was cracked but it hurts front and back. Last year the GP mentioned costochondritis. I am fed up with daily discomfort. Has anyone else experienced this? Surely it should have got better by now. Thanks

i know people who have had broken ribs they take a few weeks to heal they should not still be causing pain 13 months after u should see someone else about it as needs investigating further to find out the cause of pain such as an xray
