Possible rib fracture
I have had pain in my left ribs for two days now and it's gotten worse over that time. i can still feel it in my ribs, but also in my left shoulder and it hurts to do anything, breathe, move, etc. i have had a virus and my mom is a nurse who thinks i may have possibly cracked a rib from excessive coughing.
