Thread: Side injury right below rib cage? WTF help!

OK so here the story right me and my buddies are at a gas station getting gas and ice to go have a good night when another on of my friends runs up lets call him A. well A runs up to a friend i was with lets call him B and starts swinging on him. i thought they were playing at first because i had no idea they had problems well A is fucking huge and B is cut as shit and only does crossfit and runs track and shit. so i ran over to A the bigger guy and grabbed him becuase i didnt want 2 watch two of my friends beat the hell out of each other so i get A into a nice littel head lock and im trying to calm him down When my other friend lets call him H (for fucking huge) didnt realize it was me and and ran up and bear hugged the living shit out of me becuase i though i was trying to jump A with B. well it didnt hurt at the time but later that night i felt like total shit and my whole left side hurt so unbelivably bad. a couple days went by and i thought things where getting better and they felt like they where. Well now its been over a week and MY SIDE IS FUCKING KILLING ME! the pain is constant but when u touch the area with any kind of pressure i get a terrible sharp pain throughout my whole body its not the worst pain i ever felt but id say 8 atleast on the scale but it is by far the most unconfetable pain ive ever felt. at first i thought it was a bruised or cracked rib but i can touch my ribs and theirs no pain its the soft spot in between the bottom of my rib and to top of my hip bone. it hurts to sit it hurts to lay down if i twist a certain way it hurts if i sneaze its excrutiating i have no idea what the problem is. i hope is just a ever bruise and that thier no internal damage but holy shit does it hurt its been this bad for 2 maybe 3 days now idk what to do i havnt touched a wieght or done anything strainuios sense the injury but the pain is really starting to worry my girl and honestly me as well. what do you guys think it could be? im fucked here becuase i haveno unsurance for another couple weeks so the doctor isnt really an option i got

ya i just gave my old man a call he said it sounds just like the injury he got a few years ago he said he thinks it a torn cartaledge my concern was that its somthing internal
