I have been getting a sharp stabbing pain that occurs on the right side of my ribs, just about level with my nipple, though it's under my arm. When the stabbing pain occurs there I also feel a sharp strapping in my temple at the same time. What gives? The pain comes in short bursts then fades away until it starts up again. It's quite painful, on a scale in 1-10 saying a 6 would be fair. While they do stagger themselves I find I always have a slight headache after. Thanks so much!

I sustained a fall onto my upper back from about 4 feet; once I hit the ground, my head also fell back. I have a sore neck and ribs (legs were up in the air when I fell), and no headache. I didn't lose consciousness or become dizzy, nauseated, or shaky. No vision changes and I feel fine otherwise. I do have a small bump on the back of my head.

I don't know where else I could've asked this and feel a bit silly doing so. But, I am writing a sci-fi story and the human character is punched just under the ribs by a very strong alien. I want to know what kind of non-fatal, yet serious enough to need medical attention injuries I could give the character to make the scene feel more "real"?. Thank you for your time and sorry for asking such a question I am unsure of places I could get such information from.
