What Could Be The Pain While Breathing And Lump On Ribs After Injury?
I was tubing in the Ocean 4 days ago. I fell really hard on my ribs under my left breast. I was completely winded and could not breathe for a good few minutes. Since there is a lump, pain when breathing deep and pain when I move around...what could this be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history here I could say that because of the injury your ribcage might have developed the soft tissue inflammation and the possibility of rib fracture need to be ruled out and for that you have to get done the x-ray, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
