What causes pain in my torso while I am breathing?
Patient: I was skateboarding and was hit by a car about a 1 1/2 weeks ago. My right upper torso hurts. it aches every time I breathe and the pain has been getting worse over the last few days. Did i bruise my lung? there was/is no swelling or noticeable bruising on my skin. what do you suggest or what's your prognosis? Doctor: It would be advisable to get an evaluation done with a doctor as you might have injured your ribs. Generally nothing to worry about but pain may take time if ribs are fractured.
