A friend greeted me with big hug and lifted me up . As he did that I heard crack in my L - rib . It was very painful , but I didn t do anything . Now after 2 weeks pain is getting uncomfortable upon breathing & coughing . At times I feel like gurgeling sound . Could it be cracked rib ??.
I think you should get checked with an or tho specialist and take a X-ray if any possible hairline fracture if any present. You should always keep a hand onto the affected area while sneezing and coughing. Try doing costal breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises by placing a hand over the top of the painful area. Once your muscles become strong I think you should be fine with the relief of pain.
