Can The Lump Under Shoulder Be Related To The Cracked Rib?
My 16 year old son cracked a rib in a football game and we did not know it. It is now weeks later and he has been wrestling and there is a lump under his right shoulder and he has pain when he sleeps, not when he breathes. Is it dangerous for him to continue to wrestle

He can continue his activities if there is no pain as resting will not going to give him extra advantage. Rib fracture will be healed in six to seven weeks . He can take pain killer if he is having pain during wrestling.
