I broke my clavicle or dislocated my shoulder(ive had both before leaning towards broken clavicle) as well as I cracked or badly bruised three or four ribs(had both before as well) but in a weird spot under my armpit and shoulder on my back in a motorcycle crash 8 days ago the shoulder is minor the ribs were doing great the pain was decreasing daily until two days ago i woke up and the pain had spiked to the point of it feeling like a knife in the lungs with every breath and it hasn t improved
probably uts a deep injury so get an abdominal ct and chest ct to diagnose the sitiation better and limit your movements to minimum abdominal trauma are not that easy any internal injury can spike that pain so better be sure woth abdominal ct along with chest
