i got in a car wreck around 6 days ago and now i cant bend backwards without incredible pain in the sternum area, i have been feeling like i'm going to throw up a lot, and now in the last couple of days my back has been killing me, i can barely drive because it hurts so bad to twist my body to look behind me, i dont know what to do will it go away by itself?
You have symptoms of serious internal injuries that could become life-threatening if left untreated. I don't think it will go away by itself. You need to check into the hospital right away.
Hi there,
I am not sure if you have any fractures in your sternum. Have you noticed any bruising or swelling in the chest? Do you have a hard time when you inhale larger amounts of air in to your lung? I think that the pain can be managed with some pain killers but also this will just make things better temporarily . If you have more pain you need to see your doctor in order to scan your sternum and your chest to see if there are any fractures in your sternum. I hope that you will get better soon and that this helped you in any possible way.
Best wishes,
Marco
