[|Human|] I was playing flag football and i got pushed hard and landed on my side and i heard my chest crack. That was in September and i haven t been working out or anything since then and I still feel like my chest hurts in the same spot. What can i do to fix it?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question I completely understand your question you need to visit a pulmonologist who can request for a chest X-ray and accurately diagnose if there is a rib fracture or any other muscle injury or pleural injury.he'll prescribe you some analgesics like paracetamol to decrease the pain and will guide you through the process in cases of displaced rib fracture you need to rest but in cases of displaced rib fracture it can damage your lung so u need to hurry.thanks feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
