I got a very hard bear hug from a friend that didn't realize I wasn't healed. It was pressured more to my right side and I felt something like a pop and was in the worst pain ever. I still hurt and am worried its something severe and I need to get checked out? Right side is in pain and I am wondering what that feeling was? Implant might of shifted too but also I could be worrying and creating problems in my mind? Help!
