I got an elbow in the ribs (about where your elbow would be if you let your arms drop to your sides) playing 5 a side a couple of weeks ago, knocked the wind out of me and was very painful for 4-5 days, almost went to casualty, i thought it was better and jumped on a surf board on holiday and the pain returned with interest.
Strangely it doesnt hurt when I prod the area but hurts inside behind the ribs, I don't think I have broken a rib (didn't hear or feel a crack) could I have bruised something behind them?
