I have tried to find some reading on bruised ribs and it's not widely available. I injurred myself working out but I'm not sure how. The pain I thought was in my back. It's intense, hurts to breathe, cough, sneeze, hiccup. It also hurts to sit in my car, make a right hand turn, or try to hold my stomach in. I found two areas on my rib cage on the very side, and on the front where it hurts a lot to touch. (Why was it hurting my back then?) No spot on the back.
I thought it was from doing back or abdominal exercises so I quit doing that, but doing a leg press machine (you're laying down and pushing up with your legs) I noticed if I wasn't careful my knees would crunch against my chest and that HURT. I'm wondering if that's how it happened.
If it continues to next week I will see a doctor but I wanted to know does this sound like a bruised rib? I cannot pinpoint it to a specific muscle so I don't know what else it might be.
Thanks
