Answer #1

It’s possible to break any bone in your body.

Answer #3

Yeah oh your side there are ribs, and they are breakable.

Answer #5

Ribs…and if you break one, or even put a hairline crack in one, you’ll be in a quite a bit of pain….they hurt a LOT. You can’t breath, you can’t move without it going into a spasm.

hmm okay. well its not really my side. its kind of like if you put your finger on your belly button and move all the way over to the left, then straight back. thats where it is. its on my back, really.

Answer #7

You probably just bruised a muscle. However, you could have bruised the upper pelvic bone, or the lower rib. I doubt you broke anything, you would be in much more pain than you describe. I think it is just a bruise. If it still hurts to walk and sit in about 2 weeks, then go to your doctor. I doubt it will hurt for that long though.

Answer #8

yes it is

Answer #9

thanks so much ! (:

Answer #10
