Have Had Compression Fracture, Ribs Feel Painful And Swollen In Sternum Area. What Does It Indicate?
hi I am desperate for a diagnosis, its been 10 years of this and no dr. has found anything. 10 years ago I lifted someone really heavy and had gotten a compression fracture ,since then I have had a feeling of something under left ribcage its a huge thing and sometimes it feels like its moving. My ribs on left side are very painful and swollen at the area of the sternum , right to the left of my sternum that rib is huge like as big as my fist and painful it has never gotten better and all of these symptoms have been there for 10 years. why would something huge be under left side of my ribcage? nobody can find anything but I know what im feeling and I know my body well. please help me work with me not against me like all the other drs. thanks so much, Lisa

Hi
I read your query and would like to say that you should consult an orthopedics.
The mas and the pain are related and seems to be post-traumatic.
I recommend a MRI to find any anomaly in the bone or soft tissue.
