I may need to go to the Hospital but my parents wont take me! What do I do?

Asked by Sheriff_fan (110points) January 4th, 2010

So, I know I’m not a doctor, but I’m quite positive that I may have cracked a rib. It hurts like the bloody devil when I breathe, touch it, and just in general. It is also very bruised.

Now, in the past I have had to go to the ER many times for right lower quadrient pains, and most have turned out to be nothing. So now my mum thinks it’s just some abdominal thing going on. But this pain is a lot different than the other pains I’ve had that caused me to go to the ER. Plus, while those pains radiated to different parts of my body, this pain just stays in one place. My ribs.

The only thing I can think of that I did was about two days ago I accident walked into the kitchen counter, went to play my bass and accidently wacked myself with it, and then when I went to lower my trumpet I hit myself (on accident) with the bell really hard.

I’m told if by the end of the week it still hurts, then my mum will take me to get it checked out. I can’t last with this pain and that could be dangerous to wait that long if it’s cracked right?

What do I do?!
