I took a fall, landed flat on my back, knocked the wind out, and was sore for about two weeks before I went to the dr. When I saw him I complained of a burning, tearing pain to the right of my belly button. He said it was referred pain from a rib joint sprain. Wouldn't a sprain to my ribs cause discomfort when I cough or sneeze? Because nothing hurts when that happens. It is such a weird symptom and hits me randomly though I am able to correlate bending forward and reaching or straining at all on the right side with the occurrence of this pain. Anyone else ever have this?
