This Question From Paramedic Jokes | 7 Answers
Okay, I fell down the steps about 6 weeks ago. It knocked the wind out of me…and my ribs have hurt ever since. Now the pain is still there and the side of my ribs, near my armpits hurt sometimes, and like right across my heart….all across that area. Im 13, so is it just growing pains? Or is it something serious like cancer?
By the way, my Dad is an EMT, and jokes that I am “Falling apart” and my mom says that It is just growing pains.

Ribs could be cracked or fractured, they’d need to be taped in place until they heal up properly. If the pain’s getting worse, you need to see a doctor. An EMT should know that.
tell your parents to go get you a check up with a doctor, you ribs could be fractured
It could be just growing pains. it could be something more serious like fractured ribs. That could get serious. tell your parents your concern and tell them just for your comfort you would like to see a doctor. Maybe they are right and it isn’t anything but you’d rather be safe.
I would make sure like the other guy said that you don’t have a cracked rib… and also get checked by a chiropractor… your rib or ribs might be out of alinement. That can cause pain too!
well i doubt it’s growing pains…don’t normally get them around your chest, only on your legs….definitely not cancer! just check with your doctor…and tell your parents to stop taking it so “un-seriously.”
one growing pains arent really “growing” pains and i belive u only get those in your legs which is actually a form of r.l.s as far as you ribs go is it possible you cracked it?
Those aren’t growing pains. It sounds like you have a cracked rib. Ask them to make you a Dr. appt.
