Chest Pains

by chuppa00, Nov 28, 2008 12:38PM
Hi, Last week I went to a concert and got moshed. For the next two days after I had a nosebleed each morning, and currently I am experiencing pains on the left side of my chest which refuses to go away even after a week. It hurts when I move, touch it and when I try to take deep breaths. Should I be concerned with my chest pains?

Yes, you probably broke a rib.  See you doctor to confirm this.  The treatment is very conservative and does not require any surgery or casting.  Take some aleve for it for now.
