Hi, I'm 23. About a year ago while doing a standard one arm bicep curl with my right arm I felt like something in my rib on the mid-section of the right side of my back gave in. I thought I was fine so I continued working out for a week more. Then I had my cardio day and in the middle of the workout I felt like I went paralyzed almost in my mid/upper back. I couldn't twist at all. I carefully lied on the ground but I had a hard time breathing because breathing only made my back hurt worse. I couldn't get myself off the ground for 20 minutes. When I finally got myself up I went straight to the Chiropractor. The Chiropractor said that 3 of my ribs on the right side where the ribs meet the vertebra where lifted. He put me on my side, twisted me, and there was a big crack in that area. He said that should do it, but now I still can't do any twisting movements on my right side. When I do try and twist I feel pain by the muscle by the vertebra on that side, on the right of that muscle, and also in my ribs on my side. I also wake up every morning with pain. It feels like my rib cage is fragile, it always hurts, I can't twist, and it's driving me crazy. What's wrong with me??? It's been a year. I'm currently teaching English in China, and the doctors here don't have a clue. Please help me understand what could possibly be wrong with me and what they can do to fix me up so I can tell them what to look for and what needs to be done.
