CAR CRASH CAUSES CHEST INJURY

CHRONIC CHEST PAIN AFTER CAR ACCIDENT
SOLVED WITH TISSUE REMODELING

Car Crash Injury
Image by La Cara Salma
A few years ago when Amy was away at college, I recall HER DAD telling me about the car accident that she had been in.  Due to the violence of the crash and the force of the airbag, she ended up with a broken sternum and WHIPLASH.  The problem is, her pain did not resolve as expected.  Over the course of time, she was run through all sorts of tests including MRI's, echo-cardiograms, CT's, and a host of others.  The doctors eventually told her that her problem was not her heart.  Unfortunately, neither did they tell her what her problem actually was.  She went to chiropractors and physical therapy to no avail.  She even had a doctor tell her that her problem was her mid-back, and she was going to have to have it surgically fused in order to solve the CHRONIC PAIN.

I found her case particularly interesting because her pain was caused by severe Scar Tissue and FASCIAL ADHESIONS where the under-wire of her bra was driven into her body by the impact of the airbag and seat belt.  Her's was, as I have stated time and time again, THE PERFECT STORM of Chronic Pain.  Listen to Amy tell her story, and if you suffer from RIB TISSUE PAIN, make sure to check out these links as well.

Hello Chris,

I honestly do not know whether or not I can help you with this unless I treat you and see. Unfortunately, there is no real way to know up front.

Hello. I've had pain on my left side between my shoulder and spine for almost 3 years now. It hurts when I twist and move my back, if I lie down flat it feels like my ribs are pulling themselves apart as well as pain by my spine. It's non stop. It does not go away at all. And it's been specific to the left side for years and now it seems to be worsening every day. I've gone to get CTs and X-rays and all I've been told to is to try any-acids and take physical therapy. Nothing helps. It's greatly impacting my life and stealing my joy. I feel like it could either be a rib subluxation because the pain does travel from my spine area between my shoulder and down to my ribs. I am gaining weight because I'm in too much pain to exercise and mentally I've lost hope.

Please let me know if you've heard of this before and if there's anything I can try. Thank you, I've found your website very insightful. This seems to be a taboo in the medical industry, nobody knows how to diagnose this pain in enduring.

Hello Justin,

While I could certainly be wrong, it sounds like a tissue problem. The very first thing I would do, however, is to try a few chiro adjustments and see if that makes a difference.

Sincerely,
Dr. Russ

Doctor Russ,

Hello doctor! For the past 3 months I've had pain all through out the front and sides of my ribs... It hurt so bad a month ago I thought it was my heart and had my girlfriend take me to the ER... My heart & lungs were tested and all were fine... I also had my chiropractor try to crack my ribs once and it didn't help any, if anything it hurt more.

I was getting a heavy box down from the top shelf while standing on a ladder, it hurt my chest but being a female body builder I didn't think much of it. I rested up completely for a good 2 weeks (I also had a horrible pinched nerve in my back, my thoracic spine part, at the time) than went back to the gym and did weighted (10 lbs, I'm 95 lbs at 4'8) wide grip pull ups and REALLY struggled and strained a lot to get my reps... When before pull ups have always been my easiest and best workout...I hurt even worse after this, it was 2 weeks after this that I had my girlfriend take me to the ER... I than rested up for 4 weeks, took ibuprofen just about daily as well as messaged my whole front chest and both sides, laid on my heating pad... All of which seemed to help; my breast were no longer enlarged and the pain wasn't as bad, I was getting some of my strength back again...

So today I trained delts, traps and back (no pull ups), my workout went well... But about an hour after I was done my chest pain was back,I've been telling everyone for a good month now that I think I legit tore my chest muscles, either a grade 2 or grade 3 and think I may need surgery... My left side is the worst... What does it sound like to you I have? And what could/can I do to help heal up faster? Please any and all advice would be much appreciated!!!!


Sincerely,

Samantha

Although it's possible you avulsed a pectoral muscle, it is highly unlikely. Fascial tears can cause horrendous pain (although the swollen breast throws a wrench in the machine). Sounds like you tore tissue --- a very common and solvable injury. Have you seen a massage therapist or someone doing bodywork?

sincerely,
Dr. Russ

Dr. Russ,
Ihad a car accident two weeks ago. Except chest pain, I didn’t have any other symptoms. The CT scan at the ER didn’t reveal anything. It seemed everything was fine. I used ice for a few days. One week later, I started to experience pain in the chest area where the seat belt cut in. It’s getting worse. Any wrong move can trigger sharp pain. My upper back is hurting, too, as if it’s cold and compressed. At night, lying down in any position is uncomfortable. Propping up helps. Your post educates me that I may have torn the rib tissue. Any recommendations as to what to do and which specialist I must see would be highly appreciated.
Happy New Year!
