About 2.5 years ago I had a pair of metal bars put in my chest to correct a sort of defect and take pressure off of my heart and lungs. So today I wake up and the spot around the ends of the bars on the left side of my ribs is kind of sore. Well within the past hour and a half this shit has gotten rediculous. Its like a tearing sensation if I stand the wrong way, laugh, move my left arm, anything. Fucking sucks. Took some advil but it didnt really do anything. Im stuck, in my dorm room 500 miles from the doctors that did the surgery, and hoping I don't end up having to go to the hospital for x-rays and miss the game tonight. Anyway just had to bitch about this somewhere..
