On Saturday this week, I fell off my scooter landed chest flat on the concrete. It’s been two days since it was hurting do you think I’ve fractured a bone? Because when I get off my bed my chest is in pain

I broke my hand recently. I suspected, but didn't know, and didn't go to the doctor. I didn't think I broke it at first.

I had broken it. It was much worse than I thought and I got very lucky it didn't get infected, and that it has healed okay since. Go to the doctor.
