I am in so much pain!!!='''(((?!
Question: Hello,
Today I did somewhat of a karate jump and fell. I hurt my side REALLY REALLY bad. I wonder if I could have like broken a rib or something? Whenever I breath it hurts terribly and when I move its instant pain. Please also consider that I dont eat alot, hardly at all and my ribs are almost showing =/ (idk if this could be a factor to my side or not...)
Please let me know if you know what is wrong with me and what I should do about it.
Thanks!

Probably a broken rib..that is what it sounds like to me...
If i were you, I would go to the nearest ER and get checked out and x-rayed...you DO NOT want a fractured rib puncturing your lung...then you will be in big trouble and might not make it to the ER...
Go over and tell them you are having trouble breathing and they will take you right into the back....believe me...I am a nurse, tell them you can't breathe right (act that way too) and you WON'T have to wait...seriously...keeping an open air way is TOP PRIORITY NUMBER ONE....in ANY situation...
So go and get checked out...
I hope every thing is okay...and I hope you feel better...
If you are having pain when you breathe, you may have broken a rib, but only an x-ray will tell for sure. Go to the doctor!!
dude...go to the er.....if it hurts to breathe or if your short of breath you could've cracked a rib an/or punctured a lung...you probably just bruised it but go get it checked out....and quit fooling around, you'll hurt yourself
go to the doc.
until then don't move the arm on the side that hurts
You probably broke or bruised something, I would definatly go to the doctor because if it hurts when you breath, this can be a bad sign. If you really have broke a rib, it has a possiblity to peirce the lung or scratch it.
Go to a doctor is my advice.
TRY to stretch it out. If the pain is unbearable - as in you can not even get up out of the bed to take a shower, go to the doctors immediately. Either you bruised your side really bad - which may take a few days to heal, or you broke something on your side. May not be your rib cage, if it was you'd probably not be able to sit down - maybe a muscle or tendon. You know you're only body and pain tolerance - make the smart choice, don't try to be a hero and go through the pain. Good luck, and stay safe.
got to the er immeadatly! YOU MAY HAVE BROKEN A RIB!sry 4 kaps.
I sound like that you may be right you should have it tested.
