Back pain, rib pain

Question

Back pain, rib pain

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I had a skiing accident Monday afternoon. I hit my head was knocked unconscious for a few seconds and woke up and got the wind knocked out of me. I went to the ER Wednesday and all they checked out was my head. My lower right back is swollen and bruised pretty bad. It hurts to walk or bend. My left front rib hurts terribly as well. It’s not bruised but it’s really swollen. It hurts when I sit and cough. I’m not sure what to do. My doctor is booked until the end of January. Help.
