Hello, I had antibiotic resistant pneumonia for two months. The prolonged coughing caused bruising in my ribs, which my primary care doctor has been treating with celebrex. I ve had two chest x-rays, and neither have suggested fractures or anything more serious than bruising to the pained area. However, about an hour ago, I sneezed and heard a pop sound which came from the area of my ribs where the pain has been and my level of pain immediately sky rocketed. It s painful to breath, and I wasn t able to move for about 10 minutes after I sneezed. The pain has slowly dulled to a constant ache, just like what I was feeling before I started on the medication my doctor put me on for the pain I originally felt. I ve been on this medication for a month now. I haven t noticed any protrusions or bruising of the area. Should I be concerned enough to go to the hospital or should I wait until my follow up appointment with my primary care physician and let him know what happened?
