Back ribs cartilage damaged?

Answer
Hello Raul Estevan,


".....Back ribs cartilage damaged?...." ,  I guess you are hurting, but I am having problems understanding your question.

I guess "....AP Heart normal  No lung lesion Mediastinum hila diaphragm costophrenic angles normal No rib fracture Normal Chest X-Ray...." is an Xray report?  If this is an Xray report, they took an Xray of your chest.  This Xray is usually taken as a 'scout' test looking at the heart and lungs for pathology.  This view does not specifically look at rib or spine problems.

If your ribs are hurting, I would suggest Xrays of the point of pain, "Rib Xrays", not a Chest Xray.

If your neck, midback, or low back is hurting;  I would suggest neck, midback, or low back Xrays.


".....Heavy load snap  unconscious from excruciating pain mid back  immobility  canot walk  wo assist.....", were you unconscious??, Did you go to the hospital?, Cannot walk without assistance- did you break a leg, injure your back?

I need further info.  Please clarify if possible.
