There is soft tissue injury in the ribs. When the patient is inactive, a dull pain and bloating sensation may occur at the injured site. Pain significantly worsens after work, accompanied by local swelling, subcutaneous bruising, and positive tenderness. Additionally, distinguishing features from rib fractures include absence of abnormal mobility, crepitus, and a negative chest compression test. Medical evaluation at a hospital should be sought promptly during this period.
