Hi.. Two nights I fell when I was playing around, when i fell i fell hard and landed on my nea and my left lower ribs its in pain when I take deap breathe it hurts even when I talk long in a full sentence so I rather talk low and it won t hurt, yesterday I took two aspirin to low the pain and it kinda helps but still pain on my left lower ribs.
