I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you while a penetrating diaphragmatic injury from a rib fracture is typically small and may be initially inconspicuous, it will likely enlarge over time as negative intrathoracic pressure with inspiration gradually promotes herniation of abdominal contents into the chest. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
