Rib injury from beach volleyball
Posted , 1 user is following.
I injured my my ribs playing beach volleyball approx 3.5 weeks ago. I collided with my boss and his knee went straight into my chest (accidentally I hope!). At the time I felt a sharp pain and it felt like I was briefly winded but the pain subsided after a few minutes. The next day my ribs felt sore but not too bad until I went swimming by which time I was feeling pain after every length. The pain died down after a few days but now over 3 weeks later my ribs are still hurting. I went to the doctor afew days ago and they said there is potential for a rib to be broken or bruised and advised further rest which doesnt seem to be doing much. I have now noticed that it feels like my rib is slightly out of place/sticking out a little under my right nipple, I was wondering if it is possible for a rib to be dislocated here? Do ribs join the cartilege here or closer to the centre of the chest?
