I fell approximately 12 feet off a ladder 9 days ago. Xrays showed thst my ribs were not boke. I still have pain, but not as bad as it was. But now when I take a deep breathe it feels like bubbles are in my left lung. Feels really weird. Can u explain???

Hi,
Even though X-ray is not revealing bone injury, definitely muscles micro or bone micro-injury is common, which may not be identified. You need plaster over ribs which gives rest over adjoining muscle.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
