It hurts to inhale and exhale, but it really, really hurts to bend it a certain way.

What's wrong with me?

It comes and goes too.

Make sure both of your testicles are in place. Sometimes they move up your pelvis and lodge between the rips, which causes breathing problems

how really hurts does it hurt? Did you wake up with the pain? Ive slept funny before and woken up with pain.

Hurts quite a bit, but not like a broken bone. Weekend before last; I was coming off a cold and helping my sister move to Frankfort, hurt in the same place but only after being outside without a jacket on and being sweaty and dehydrated enough to be pale.

PD, no jokes in this thread.

does it cut breath short? if it does you might wanna hit a walk in clinic if it isnt gone by tomorrow.

until then try to stretch out a bit and take a warm shower to relax muscles. take a couple advil too.

I'm not really short of breath, but if this persists I'm going to the doctor.

I sneezed alot more than usual yesterday. When I got it before, I was coughing ALOT.

If youre not short of breath because of it thats good. Its good to see a doctor regardless, take a few advil, try to relax until then. If you've done a lot of coughing or sneezing you probably pulled a muscle in an annoying spot. The coughting could have been the result of something else.

When I was coughing, I was coming off a really bad cold that knocked me out for three days.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2008, 02:52:46 PM »

Probably pulled something, the cough was the result of the cold, the pain is probably the result of coughing a lot. As long as the pain doesnt cut your breath short youre ok, but if it persists you should see a doctor..

It might be your diaphragm.

The only reason it sucks is because it's in your chest, makes you worry you're having heart problems. But it's really just like having a busted ankle.

dont look at the internet! it will make you think you have everything! trust me!

Anxiety for example. has all the symptoms of everything, and you can get anxiety from thinking you have something serious!

pilonv1 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2008, 06:26:33 AM »

That is true. I thought I had some serious shit till I got it diagnosed with costochondritis. Go see a doctor

Agreed, none of us are Doctors...cept maybe Smooth, someday anyway

I have pulled a rib muscle from coughing, it is the worst. I felt miserable. What made it even more unbearable, was the near constant chuckling that I did because it hurt so bad. This, of course, made it hurt even more.

It went away after like 2 days.
