I had a displaced fracture of #1 (bottom) rib on my right side from getting kicked very hard while playing goalie in a soccer game. Displaced = the two pieces of the broken bone weren't lined up end to end, but actually overlapped each other. Doc said it would eventually all grow together in a lump.
It bothered me for a little over two years. It doesn't hurt any more, but when I punch (ie practice martial arts) there's a wheezy, involuntary exhale sound from my chest. I went to the top pulmonary doc in Phoenix who said she'd never seen/heard anything like it.
