Have trouble breathing, painful, popping sensation. Was due to excessive work out?
Patient: Hi im a 28 year old male and playing soccer last week i got sandwiched between 2 players, one running at full speed. i heard/felt a crunch/crack and it caused a lot of immediate pain. i came off feild and hurt badly to breath. I tried to runn and made it  through light jogging before i had to stop due to the pain and trouble breathing. the pain was EXTREMELy sever when i got home and i had to stay hunched over in order to breathe. after about 2 hours i was trying to sit up and felt a very slight pop or click and the sever sharp pain subsided a bit and i didnt have to stay hunched over to breath anymore. does this sound like i definitely broke it or could it be a crack or maybe it was slightly dislocated and when back in place? Doctor: muscle pullmuscle sprain muscle tissue damage or hairline crack of the ribs or may be broken all need to be explored by getting xray chest pa view and consulting the gpmean while you can take anti inflamatory analgesics and antiinflamatory creams to control itnee rest wit pressure bandage
