Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell directly on my right breast bone at a ski resort about five days ago. The ct scan was clear for breaks, but the past two day the pain has gotten worse. I can hardly breath, my pain goes thru to my right shoulder blade and it is getting worse. Could they have missed something on the ct, or could something have developed.
