u could have definately fractured a rib and that can be very dangerous because bone can splinter and damage a lung...

Could be anything from a hairline rib fracture, to a pulled muscle. Better ckeck with the doctor.

It is possibly a fractured/broken collarbone. It is a fairly common injury connected to falling. I'd have it checked out by your doctor, who may send you for x-rays.

Answer 10

just for peace of mind go to your doctor and tell him about it. if you havnt got a doctor, drop in to casualty.

Answer 11

I separated my shoulder in a motorcycle wreck. You can injure the ball-and-socket joint in your shoulder and be certain that you injured something inside your chest. I used to have great difficulty breathing after I injured my shoulder. In your case, I would wager that you injured either your rotator cuff or tore the cartilage in your shoulder joint. It will take a surgery to correct it, so get to a doctor soon. The only other thing it could possibly be if it has hurt for that length of time is a couple of broken ribs. They are painful and they do take a while to heal.

Good luck and get on in to see your doctor.

it is a sprained ankle.

Answer 13

Possible soft tissue damage between the ribs - and it can take a long time to heal.

Everyone here is right though - go see a doctor.

I hope you went to see a doctor.
Usually a pain in you chest on the left side has to do with heart attacks
