Owwww!!! Help!!!

[Sub-Zero]

hey, i am in need of some medical help... i would go to the dr tomorrow but its not open on MLK day and im not in excruciating enough pain to go to the ER...yet

okay im thinking its either a broken rib (because i wrestle and get banged up alot) or pneumonia(iv been kinda sick and my mom suggested it)

iv been caughing ALOT and waking up with so much mucus in my sinuses that i literally have to cough and snort for 5 minutes to get enough out to breath properly. some of it is dark green and bloody, and some is yellow...before you guys call me retarded for not going to the dr, the only time iv really felt sick other than when i wake up is friday when my head hurt really bad and my throat hurt.... i dicided to go to practice anyway so i could wrestle in my match yesterday. (i know im stupid but i won)

anywho i have a pain to the left of my spine about a bit higher than elbow height that doesnt hurt when i move or seem to hurt when i put pressure, but when i start to breath or cough (and during) it feels like in one spot area of about a golf ball, that its REALLY tight and feels like its pushing in.

i noticed the pain this mroning while cooking eggs and its gradually getting worse. if it is pneumonia i may take up my moms ER offer... if its a rib its not like they will do anything for it anyway


thanks alot

i think you should go to the er and get checked out before it gets to serious. Just go right now.. But your body is obviously telling you something isn't right by waking you up at night... I would go to the ER! Good luck

the thing about the ER is it would be embarrasing to have to go in there for a false alarm...like i can walk and talk normally and stuff

plus my moms being bitchy and i dont wanna deal with her if it is a false alarm

Then call your vet.

trying calling the er. they usually have a nurse you or doc you can tell your symptoms to and they can advise whether you should go in or not. might save you a couple of $$

beside the spine pain I have had the exact problem for a month, but its slowly passing

If you don't want to go to the ER, see if your hospital has a ReadyCare or walk-in clinic of some sort, and give that a try. If you have a broken rib, it probably won't heal right if you just leave it like that. And if you're coughing up blood, then get your doc to prescribe antibiotics. There's no reason to feel miserable any longer than you have to, unless you're a bum with no money/insurance. Then you'd probably have to resort to illegal tactics for a swift recovery.

pneumonia is usually in one spot like you described by your spine...plus all the other signs/symptoms.. lay low, fluids, ER if gets any worse, doc on Tues if you can hold out that long- get well soon..

they should give you an emergency number, OR you can call the pediatric dept. of the hospital.
I know that sounds funny, but since you might not really know what department you do need, they might be able to tell you if you should come in.
