Me: Elbows my rib outward once and it really hurt
Rib: Feels wrong since elbowing it
Rib: Proceeds to give me bad anxiety from feeling that there's something wrong with it
Rib: Gives me 3 bad panic attacks in less than 2 days
Rib: Now hurts when I touch it
Rib: Is clearly not where it's supposed to be when I look in the mirror
Rib: Makes it so I can't lift heavy things or put pressure on it without it hurting
Rib: Still gives me anxiety and makes it impossible to focus on bad days
Doctor: "There's nothing wrong with you. Your body's just asymmetrical. Drink some water and it will go away."
. . .
Wtf doctors?
No matter how many times I tried explaining to her, my doctor didn't seem to understand that I didn't elbow my rib straight on
I think she thinks I hit it here going inward
Cause everytime she gestured to recreate the scene that I elbowed it, she put her elbow there
But in reality, I hit it here, going in the direction of the arrows:
So like, it kinda knocked out
Maybe?
Idk
But now, when I look in the mirror, that ONE RIB is bulging out a bit compared to the rest
