question: About 2 months ago I had a situation where I had a violent sneeze. When this happened I felt and heard something pop in my lower left ribcage and it was extremely painful. Since then, everytime I cough, laugh, left, bend over, and especially when I sneeze it is very painful. This morning I sneezed and thought I was going to pass out, it was the worst pain I ve had from the ordeal so far. I was hoping to find out what this might be and how to make it better.
