Suggest Treatment For Sensitivity In Chest Area After An Injury
I had a bike accident around one year ago. I flew over the handle bars and landed on my upper right side (scrapped elbow and bruised shoulder). At the time I thought I may have also fractured or bruised ribs. Now I am experience sensitivity in the chest area
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not worry much about it,as it is due to pleural thickening only. You had blunt chest trauma 1 year ago and had fractured or injured ribs. This might be giving pleural reaction at that time. So with time, healing occur in ribs as well as pleura. And healing in pleura occur as thickening and fibrosis. So the smoothness and friction free movements of pleura ,at the site of injury is lost. So you can have feeling of pain or friction in the injury area. Sometimes it can also gives hypersensitivity in it. So get done ultrasound examination of local chest area, if pleural thickening is there then no need to worry much.
