No, because if you have an accident in the air, where your ribs start to hurt, their is not much they can do. Unless you are near an airport. It can also depend on the aircraft. For example. If it is a military plane/ helicopter, they have to carry medical equipment so that, if they where taking wounded soldiers/ a soldier was wounded on board, they can keep him alive.

Yes and no. The pain from the fracture is not a warning of further damage. By and large, if you can cope with the pain you can work. The fracture will heal in about 6 weeks. Residual paraspinal pain can be treated then with exercise and massage/ mobilization.

Can cracked ribs under the left shoulder damage the spleen and cause diarrhea?

First, do not put off seeing a professional medical care provider. It is important now and for your future. Cracked ribs "under [the] left shoulder" sounds like an injury that is "too high" to affect the spleen. Your lungs are up there. Cracked ribs require diagnosis, and only a doctor or qualified professional can do this. The problem is that the cracked ribs may not be all that is wrong. And that is where they doctor is worth his weight in gold. Cracked ribs don't get a lot of "treatment" per se 'cause there isn't a lot that can be done to help them heal except for the patient to minimize movement. (No taping or wrapping.) A ruptured spleen means internal bleeding, and that is bad. Any diarrhea isn't caused from cracked ribs. That's a long stretch for a causal connection. Please go someplace and have yourself checked out. Be clear and honest about what happened so other damage can be diagnosed accurately. It's your health, and you only get one issue of it.


Why do your ribs tickle so much?

Your ribs might hurt when you laugh because probably you have a problem with your stomach area or ribs. Don't be too frightened its probably just a temporary thing. One of my aunts had a similar symptom.


What is the function of the ribs of fish?

i thought about that question too and i kept looking for an answer but this is all i could find: The function of the floating ribs is not fully understood. A floating rib could theoretically provide some protection to the contents of the abdominal cavity, but it isn't as necessary as the ribs which are attached to the sternum.
