A member asked:

Shooting pain on left side of my ribs stops me from breathing normally after a childhood accident i had and never had it checked. can it be serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well, if you...: ...Have been living with it since childhood, it likely won't kill you. On the other hand, if it is interfering with activities then you you should absolutely get it checked out, because that is how you will find out if something can be done to either lessen the pain or make it go away completely.
