Hi lph, I hope you have been checked out for your pain. I think this may take you a few months to get over this. I dumped my mtn bike a few years back, crashed hard on my side. The impact was painful but afterward I rode back to my vehicle and called it a day. I was sort of numb on the side of my chest and when I went to bed , I could feel a 'click-clack' sound from my sternum. I did not go to a doctor but I wish I did. Three days after my crash I felt my left lung inflate when I walked up a hill outside my home. Other than that I felt great from my experience. Sneezing made me feel like my heart could pop out of my chest. Don't be as foolish as I was. Take care and rest easy.
