Had x-rays made and was told that the ribs had heal

I broke 3 ribs on the right side this past Feb. and fractured my shoulder I was wondering if a memory foam mattress would cause the right back side to hurt.  It is in the area of the kidneys.  Thanks for your help.

Years ago, I had the same problem with my lower right back.  It turned out to be related to my mattress.  I cannot say this is the case for you.  

If the problem persists, I would recommend having your PCP/Family Physician assess you.

I'm not sure if it would or not but is it possible you could have a kidney infection?

Memory foam is polyurethane with additional chemicals increasing its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. In some formulations, it is firmer when cooler. Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat, allowing it to mold to a warm human body in a few minutes. A lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and moulds quickly to the shape of the body.

So you can use it but not for a longer period of time.
