hi wondering if any one has experienced the same problem, I fell off my bike a few ago and hit the saddle very hard into my lower ribs it caused an instant bruise/scuff I didn't notice the lump straight away as the lst week I couldn't bare to even touch 2 nd week on and I'm left with some solid lump that I can almost get hold of I never had a xray as I didn't have a breathing problems etc but 2 weeks on just wondering if anyone knows what the lump could be, as it's still so painful ?

    If its still painful and you have a lump would be a good idea to have an xray to see if the rib is snapped

    If its not bothering you too much you could wait and see if it goes down, if your breathing is effected at all then go and see your GP
