Ok, don't want to scare you, but it's important. Go get x-rayed.
Hubby broke 3 ribs, and two months later, he started building up fluid.
He has also been dx'd since then with emphysema, which has nothing to do, with breaking the ribs. so don't worry about that.
You just need to have this medically documented, and your doctor needs to be aware of this injury, as well as needs he x-rays for referral later on. Go! gentle hugs. :wink:
