General What’s Your Ailment?

so that was a bad call lol.

Well, Its tricky to perform a therapeutic procedure flying blind... I'd call it an unfortunately painful but diagnostic procedure .
Your prior issue quite likely worsened the outcome of the fall, but I totally agree with Roller's assessment that unless something changes, you will be fine with some TLC to the area.

Took a spill stepping off a 2' retaining wall and slipping on a rock and fell on my side about 3 days ago in LA and I'm not sure if I bruised or cracked my rib but it still hurts like hell. I called Kaiser and they said they couldn't setup and appointment right now and I would either need to contact my regular doctor or go to the ER, where we pay $27K a year for health insurance just the opportunity to pay a $600 copay for an x-ray.

It won't matter anyway as I understand it because there is no real treatment for this other than time anyway but it would be nice to know if it's fractured.

Sorry to hear that! Wishing you a non painful recovery
