My rib cage has been hurting for 2 weeks at this point but I just know if I go to the doctor about it they're just going to tell me "rest up and take it easy" and then charge me $5,000

@RustyCrab is it more of an ache, or a sharp pain? it could be due to psychological stress, or inflammation.

@genmaicha sharp but localized. Not stabbing. I can only feel it when I breathe in too hard. I cannot feel it when I inhale with my stomach muscles. That's why I'm not concerned that it's lung related.

@RustyCrab probably worth checking out, maybe you could go to an urgent care first instead of a more expensive option

@genmaicha urgent care is very very expensive. Also no I don't believe it's serious. It really feels like a pulled muscle or something happened to the cartilage, neither of which they can do anything about.

@RustyCrab @genmaicha
I've pulled muscles in ribs, perhaps even fractured ribs
there isn't anything that can be done other than "take it easy"

a7,

@RustyCrab rest up take easy, now give me money please

@a7 that's always how it goes. They make some machine go brrrr for 3 seconds, tell you results are inconclusive and charge you the price of several cars to say "take Advil"

a7,

@RustyCrab this is why i hate the question 'did you go to the doctor' when im sick, no i didnt call the doctor to have him tell me im shitting myself

@deprecated_ii I have no idea what this is either. It's not an injury but it's clearly localized and not something like a blood clot either. The only result I got that sounds similar is some kind of cartilage infection that happens in children and old women and sounds very silly.

@RustyCrab does it hurt to the touch

RustyCrab,
@RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co avatar

@deprecated_ii no actually. It only hurts when I over-extend by breathing too deep which is supposed to the the sign of a blood clot but I don't have any other symptoms and the pain doesn't extend anywhere. It just feels like a bruise.

@RustyCrab probably one of the intercostal muscles is tweaked

I'd just take aspirin

@deprecated_ii yeah the only reason I got concerned is how long it's been going on. I have no idea how long these things take to heal though.

Pawlicker,

@RustyCrab @deprecated_ii I bruised my leg and it's been nearly a month and it still hurts
