Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing And Soreness In Chest Post Injury
I was at football training 3 days ago, I tried to take someone on who was running at me at great speed And banged his elbow on the left side of my chest. Since the ive had trouble breathing And moving gently, ive got a game tommoro And i really want to play, it also hurts when i run.
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got chest injury by someone by his elbow .Now you are having trouble breathing and moving gently. You may have got soft tissue injury or fracture rib. You need to do x-ray chest AP and oblique view to rule out fracture rib .Treatment of it is rest and analgesics such as diclofenac . In my view you should avoid playing tomorrow.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
