Pain in one ribcage
Actually yesterday for fun my friend was trying to lift me and I got hurt in one of my left ribcage. It pained a lot after few minutes it went. Then after I went for sleep i was unable to turn in the left side and sleep and I found that rib bone was swallow. Whenever I put some pressure it pains a lot. So can you suggest what to do? And what might have happened to me?
