yesterday i fell in my yard off my trampoliene (its only for one person and about 1ft off the ground..like and excersise one) and my wrist was hurting but now its fine. i woke up the morning and have a really bad pain on the sides of my ribs ( left side and right side) it hurts to laugh, breathe, or if you touch it they become sore. there is no bruising though. whats up with it?
**** also hurts with any movement of my body *arms particuarlly
... i didnt fall that hard*** 10 points to best answer***
i dont think its broken cuz when i feel it it doesnt feel seperated but then again i dont know what there supposed to feel like im only 13.
i took aleve a half hr ago it still hurts. i can still move every part of my body it just hurts really bad to move my torso.
when i fell it wasnot onto my chest it was on my hands and knees ( reflex so i wouldnt hurt myself. would that still cause a break/fracture/bruise?)
its only the sides of my ribs my chest seems fine

I think you need to see a doc and make sure you didn't break anything. They can also give you some great pain relievers. It's better to be safe than sorry. Ask your mom or dad to take you.

Even if there is no visible bruising you could have bruised the muscles around your ribs. This would cause them to be really sore for a few days. If you continue to hurt this bad after about three days, I would consult a doctor but most likely you are just really bruised on the inside and it takes time to heal! Hope you feel better soon!! Also, when you fell and landed on your hands and knees you could have pulled the muscles in your torso which you unknowingly used to brace your fall!

You need to tell an adult. No telling what you actually injured, but, if you are in that much pain, you don't want to put off a trip to the doctor. Problem with this type of question: If your injury is life-threatening, you've already waited too long. By the way, I'd give the Aleve at least an hour to kick in. Good luck to you.

Chances are you just bruised your ribs and maybe pulled a muscle. If you are still in pain in about a week, or if your symptoms get any worse, then you will need to go see a dr. Also make sure your parents are aware of your injury.

You should have your mom or dad take you to the doctor to have it checked out, but it sounds like you pulled muscles in your sides. this is very painful. Take a warm bath or put warm on your sides for 20 minutes, and follow it with cold for 20 minutes alternate the heat and cold. Take motrin appropriate for your age, ask mom to read the bottle, every 6-8 hours, do not exceed the recommended dosage for you age, it can cause stomach problems. If it continues go to the ER.

You could have a small fracture in your ribs or some internal bruising. If it hurts real bad you should consider going to get an x-ray done.

You may have bruised your ribs and maybe pulled a muscle on your wrist. You may need to go to the doctor. Injuries like that are silent for awhile but later on you may feel something or have other internal complications. I would suggest go visit your doc and see what's going on.

Were you exercising? Is this an activity you normally do? Maybe you just used muscles that you normally don't use, they will feel real sore the next day. Just relax, and try not to do too much, perhaps a hot bath (the moist heat is better on pain than just a heating pad).You should feel better in a couple of days.

You may have bruised or broken your ribs. Usually, broken ribs are extremely painful when you move in the least. Best to tell parents and see the doctor to make sure.

there are a few things that may be going on: he may be to big for you- you may be built to small for him: if that is the case you just tell him to take do it gently-- you be in control of the pain. you could have an infection--- go to the doctor and find out. you could have fibroids, cysts or tumors (pretty much the same thing) and he is applying pressure in some way. when your stomach is sore that is probably from the presssure of im being inside and one of those other situations listed. What ever the case YOU SHOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR< I myself have experienced this. I had fibroids. ALSO YOU BE IN CONTROL -- AGAIN YOU BE IN CONTROL--DONT let him hurt you. it could also mess something up down there. OH yeaH== when you have a bladder infection---intercourse pushes the infection further up your urethea-- GO TO THE DOCTOR

It sounds like you bruised your ribs. Avoid hurting this area and it should heal in 1-2 weeks
