I sneezed so hard that I know something went wrong inside. Two days later I have to call emergency because it was excruciatingly painful and hard to breath. X ray showed nothing, MRI showed nothing. The pain was on the left side of my rib cage. I was given some antibiotic (Augmentin tabs) but am not sure if it really work. I felt it for more than 3 months. That happened in March this year.
Last month, while at dinner time I sneezed not as hard but I got the same symptoms on my right side around my rib cage. I had an xray done and ultrasound performed but nothing showing up.
Today I have a CT-Scan and hopefully get results this week. During the ultrasound test I felt the pain on my left side to came back. There is some part of my skin that seems to swell or numb
but the feeling inside when I sort of cough or sneeze is like a tightening and pulling pressure inside. Only thing I noted was a sort of springlike movement on at the edge of my ribs when I push my finger.

It is possible that you cracked a rib. a cracked rib will not show up on x-ray or MRI or ct but it does hurt like hell. i have done this in the past and it does hurt like hell for a while. just keep taking ibuprofen or aleve or Tylenol to help with the pain!

Seek assistance from a chiropractor, they can put your rib back into place and help with the pain.

Talk to a chiropractor, it might be your rib cage that has been displaced.
