Rib Injury?!


Question: Rib Injury!?
About 2 weeks ago while playing lacrosse, I was hit hard around my bottom right rib area!. At the time it knocked the wind out of me, but I caught my breath and kept playing!. After about a week, it started hurting, and didnt get better!. Now, 2 weeks later it still hurts if pressure is applyed, or when using muscles in that area (such as sit ups)!. Any ideas what this could be!? There is no visible external bruising or swelling!. It looks the same as the other side of my rib cage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Just sounds like a bruised rib to me! if it was broken you woulldn;t have been able to continue ur game and you would be finding it difficult too breathe!.

there is nothing a Dr can do really except give you pain meds!.

Try resting a few days (loose the sit ups) and take a pain killer with anti inflammitry such as ibuprofen!.

im certain its nothing more serious than this so there's no need to worry!.

hope you feel better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com
