Fractured/ cracked rib?!
Question:
Fractured/ cracked rib?
Other day I was trying to do a pull up when my boyfriend came behind me and put his arms around me (upper torso, chest area) and squeezed! I heard a crack and immediately felt pain. The pain went away within a few minutes. The next morning I was a little sore and, now, when I press down right under my right breast there is a very sharp pain. I don't have health insurance yet as I have just started a new job. Do I have a fractured rib?
Answers:
even if you did the only thing a doctor would do for you is give you a pain killer there is no way for a doctor to cast just a rib fracture now if it was broken off you would need surgery but i would go to the store get some pain killers and take it easy for a while it should fell better soon
