Hello I was just wondering if I should go
to the doctors or not. I was at a party
this new years and was hit very hard below
my right rib. I didn't feel any real pain
tell about yesterday morning. I could
barely stand up.
I felt around where i was hit and its
tight and swollen but there is no bruising
at all. Now today my back is starting to
hurt directly behind the contact point.
I have been hit before around this area
but nothing like this has happened.
What organs are located there?
Any help would be great.

Go have it checked out. If it is nothing
serious you will have peace of mind. If it
is serious then you can have it treated.
Go to the doctor. Good Luck.

Um, that's not good. Under the right rib
would be about where ur right kidney is.
I do mixed martial arts and I know for a
fact that people dread the kidney punch
with a passion. Its also the most dreaded
punch in boxing. And since u were at a
party, I'm assuming it was a bareknuckle
punch and not a gloved punch. That's
pretty serious, go see da doctor before it
gets bad.
