Possible injury

[Guest DJ Hydrolicious]

Well, I'm in school now and last period I was in gym. On the last play of flag football I slammed my chest into someones shoulder and now its hurts like hell. I'm wondering if I should get it checked or should leave it alone. Please help.

well, i guess the worst thing that could have happened is that you got a very bad bruise.

tough getting your chest checked can't hurt. so yeah, if it continues to feel bad you should go see a doctor or something.

I'd say if it doesn't go away (or at least considerable lessen) in the next day or so you should definitely get it checked. My family had a lot of bad experience with not getting health issues looked at in time so I'm a bit jumpy about things like this.

Also let me add that I have had a cough and when I cough my chest contracts and hurts like hell. So I wonder if that has anything to add to it. Also both my arms hurt like hell but my left hurts the most. I also bended my thumb in a abnormal position. Also feels like I'm going to pass out. This is my only period of the day I can have access to a PC. Computer game design.

Go to the nurse and see if you separated your shoulder.  It's not that hard to pop out.  I did the same thing playing football in high school, though I popped it back in on the sidelines.

 

Edit:  I read what you did backwards.  It's your CHEST.  Oops.

 

Probably a deep bruise, but if you continue having trouble breathing, I'd get it checked out.

Also let me add that I did pop it out of place I'm pretty sure and I popped it back in. Now its barely moving but I know its in its socket now. I do have trouble breathing but I don't see any bruise, it just hurts like hell and its not going away. Also its fine, something did happen with my should though.

well, you don't have to see a bruise for it to be there.

bruises can be internal too. so if i where you i would still take it as a possibillity.

You should probably get it checked out.  It might be something severe, it might not be.  Check with your school nurse just in case, if you don't have a school nurse, try to find someone that might be able to help you at the school's office.  Just because you do not see a bruise does not mean that there isn't bruising, it's probably internal bruising.   Get some help for it, especially if it hurts to breathe.

If it is really bothering you, then get it checked. I doubt it's anything seriously bad, but it doesn't hurt to make absolutely sure though.
