New anxiety............

Well, I think I have fractured my sternum/ribs/damaged my spine.

Its actually quite funny looking back on it. This is the second injury I have got while playing sport, this time I slipped on to my bum on mud, full force.

I heard a lot of pops and cracks - my bum/back isn't really hurting me. Its my chest. It doesn't hurt to move my arms but it now hurts to run, so obviously I have stopped playing now.

My chest is numb and tingling on the skin, my head hurts and I have been left winded by it, and can't help but be worried I have a spine injury which will paralyze me, sternum/rib injury which will pierce my lungs/heart or have concussion or internal bleeding. I don't know what do do.

I can't imagine this could happen based on what you said and I don't expect to see you in the Daily Mail so.... :shrug:

It could be costochondritis which is harmless, but happens from trauma, sickness, or stress even. It’s an inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the sternum. I was prescribed ibuprofen for mine and it helped tremendously, although it still isn’t gone after almost a year.

I replied to your fairly recent thread entitled 'irrational phobia of death'. However, you didn't return and say anything on it, or acknowledge the post.

I don't think the OP replies to much on here, Carys.

Yep, I've found a number of posts I made in response to pleas for help....which are also not replied to. OK.

I'm sorry

I feel guilty and bad about myself :(

Oh.

I don't think it is that because my symptoms have gone. I'm worrying too much again .. :lac:
