Q: Fractured Rib ??
asked by: helloraquel on June 30th, 2007

Forgetting that I'm a girl, my boyfriend placed his arms around me (right under my breast) and squeezed very hard and tightly. I heard a crack and immeadiately felt pain. The pain subsided in a few minutes but never fully went away. It's been exactly 1 week and the pain has gotten worse everyday. It hurts when I move certain ways. It hurts when I lean against something. It hurts when I carry something heavy. And it especially hurts when I press down directly under my right breast. I don't have health insurance so I can't go to a doctor without having to pay lots of $$$. Is my rib fractured or broken? Or is it just bruised? Or could it be dislocated? What are the different symptoms?? Please help me I'm in pain.
