A member asked:
During a badminton game i hit my knee against my rib cage. now my rib still hurts after one week. there is no bruising or breathing difficulty.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruised rib: You probably bruised your rib, which can be painful as you move your ribs every time you breath and with certain movements. It should get better in time, and if it does not, see your dr. For an eval, good luck.
