Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
One week ago me and my friend were wrestling on the grass and he picked me up and dropped me and it hurted, i couldnt breath for a few seconds and then i was back to normal i play varsity tennis for my local high school and jusy yesturday i was playing some tennis in a park and out of nowhere i Started to feel pain on my left rib, it hurts just a little bit when I take a really long breath, it also hurts when i touch it although the pain is much more and when i twist my body it doesnt really hurt my firts question: is the rib broken ?? Second questio: Can i still play tennis??
Ps. Im number one in my whole district for tennis and i really want to play because we are going to cif and i have to be at Best.
Third question what will happen if its broken or bruised and i keep on playinh until my whole tennis season is done by the way i have like 8 matches to go and im pretty sure i can win even with the pain because they are pretty easy do you recommend me to keep playing until the end ??
