I had fallen about 2 months ago give or take, anyway the ribs on my left side have been in a lot of pain recently it didn t start immediately after the fall. When I suck in you can see how my right rib cage is rounded normally as where my left side indents in maybe 6 ribs up and you can feel a bulge under my underarm and side of my breast. I went to see my chiropractor who assured me it was okay that one of my ribs was twisted? I still need a second opinion on this because I do not know much about this type of injury. I know already there isn t much that can be done. But is this just a twist in my ribs or could there be more to it?
Hello, I have studied your case and I think you might have injured your ribs. It is common injury and patient complains of pain during sneezing and coughing. It takes some time in healing and during few weeks it can be painful. I would suggest you to take opinion from orthopedic doctor and not chiropractor.  I would also suggest you to take chest x-ray to confirm the diagnosis.  Furthermore, I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
