Hello Drs My friend was playing football & was running full speed when someone shouldered him right in the chest. Radio showed no apparent breaks & the Dr recommended just Advil with no improvement!!

Your friend might need a strap on the chest to immobilize his ribs of course along with the Advil. If the situation worsens, he will need to do another X-ray.
