A member asked:
My boyfriend hugged me to tight and my ribs have been hurting and popping for over a year, do i get it checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES.: One year of pain following an injury, even one caused by an overly strong hug, justifies medical evaluation. I know that getting an appointment can often take a while, so, the sooner you make the call, the better. BTW, I hope your BF wasn't trying to hurt you.
