Im needing advice from my medical friends... Friday I was working out. I normally do 90 pounds on this machine where you push against resistance side to side (to strengthen your abs). I bumped it up to 95 pounds. I didnt really feel anything right away but later that afternoon I started having this really sharp pain on my left side under my heart. It would take my breath away and be really painful when I tried to breath. I figured I just pulled a muscle in that area. That night I was in so much pain. I could hardly move and it hurt to lie down. I couldnt sleep on my side. When I woke up Saturday and tried to twist out of bed I thought I was going to die. Yesterday I just hung out all day and it was bearable but then last night I reached over to get something and I had that sharp pain. I couldnt lie flat in my bed so I propped myself up with several pillows. I just stupidly reached over to my left side to turn on my light and I experienced that stabbing pain again. It hurts to breath. Is is possible that I could have broken a rib. I looked it up and another possibility is Pneumothorax. I really dont want to go to the doctor if it is just a pulled muscle but it feels worse than that. I have heard that broken ribs are incredibly painful. Im not a wimp but this really hurts.
