I've been sick for a little while now, and one thing I have is a bad cough. I have been coughing for more than 2 weeks and 3 days ago I developed this pain on my right rib cage. Over the past couple days it has gotten much worse and now it hurts constantly. It is a sharp pain. It hurts when I breathe deeply. when I stand up straight, when I move certain ways and especially when I cough it truely feels like I am being stabbed.
The doctor ignored my cough complaint, with green flegm. And she said I only had a sinus infection.
I was wondering what this pain could be since it is rather painful. I've heard it could be a pulled muscle or a bruised rib but I was wondering what you guys thought it was.
Thanks!
