You : You need to be seen to be sure you don't have an injury to your lung, such as a pneumothorax. You will need a prescription pain reliever for your pain. I'm sure you have tried advil or tylenol, (acetaminophen) but it sounds like you are having extreme pain. Please be seen so that you can be treated appropriately. I am sorry that this happened to you.
