Answers:
A CT Scan for an area close to the skin such as ribs is fine, but if you need to go deeper like in a knee or shoulder, an MRI would probably be ordered.. They may give you a support wrap to hold the ribs in place while the cartilage heals and put you on a mild Narcotic Pain Pill for a while.. Extra Strength Tylenol may do as well though.. Good luck to you young lady.. Health Question & Answer
