Two weeks before I feel off from my bike and hit my ribs, I have pain on my ribs now (not severe pain but still. I went to a physiotherapist, He told if a bone had broken then you would not have been able to breathe, He said there is nothing much to worry, he applied ice pack and then did heat therapy two times but I still have pain. I did keep the ice pack few times a day but I do not find any relief? Can some one whether I should visit a general doctor or orthopedic or orthopedic physiotherapist?

Good. Check whether you have swelling and vomitting. I feel ice will definitely be help ful to reduce the inflammation. Since it is an acute injury do not apply hot water fermentation, instead you can keep Infra Red Radiation which will be helpful to reduce the inflammation or the acute pain. I hope you should become better with IRR (infrared radiation). Keep ice pack do not keep ice directly on the skin which will damage the skin surface.
