Hi,
Ok, so for the past month or so I've had this pain on the right side of my chest, on my side-like 4 inches or so directly below my underarm, and two inches to the right of my boob.
It's been a low, dull ache. Which is why I haven't gone to the doc about it at all. And in the past week its been worse. Sometimes when I reach a certain way it feels worse, or if I take a deep breath.
I was thinking pleurisy-but the thing is I've had pleurisy-when I was 17 or so, and it doesn't feel like that. Granted that was a long time ago. But the thing is, my pfts are higher than they've ever been in my life. I am literally healthier than I've felt in years. No bad looking mucus, nothing. I don't see how it is that.
The only thing I could think of is I had a bad fall off my porch while trying to catch my dog, and I slipped and cracked my back right in the center spine, that was a about a month ago. And then, last week I had a VERY bad fall off of a fast moving golf cart on my farm. I know that sounds ridiculous, but there was NO alcohol involved! My 3 yrd old nephew was on it, and he was slipping off, I went to grab for him and we fell off together. He was ok, thank god-but I took the full brunt of the fall, and it was bad. I got a concussion (sp?) and they almost took me to the hospital!
So-anyway-I'd appreciate any thoughts on this! If its a bad muscle strain or even a broken rib-there's really nothing that can be done about it. And I can't see it being pleuresy b/c my numbers are so high and I'm feeling good.
