Hi, Today when i was playing soccer, the soccer ball hit hard into my chest. At first it felt a bit hard to breath, but after a few breaths it was fine. Although in about 10 minutes, every time i took a breath there was a sharp pain in my back. Ive come home still having this harp pain in my back, and now realize that there is a lump on my back. What should i do?
Hello dear friend, thanks for writing to ChatDoctorI am Chat Doctor. You should take X-ray chest to see for any fracture hair line fracture can lead to pain without swelling you will have to use rib belt to support chest and rib there can be rib contusion leading to pain which will aggravate on deep breathing coughing, sneezing Here are my suggestions to you:give rest do hot and cold fomentationTake care
