A member asked:
Bear hug and lift from a person has caused pain in my rib (one side). no bruising or swelling but pain in a very specific area especially if pressing on it. can take deep breath but pain in that one area. can this be a break or bruised rib?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
more likely a rib joint with sternum but you did not give enough. Ribs cover a lot of distance. Or rib joint with spine. If it was a real bear it could be in the rib itself. You did say it was a bear hug. What does that mean in NJ? ;-)
