Have you ever cracked a rib?

[Anonymous]

I cracked a rib and my breast is over it so every time I roll over when I sleep it hurts. Coughing also sucks.

Yes

No

Ouch

[meatballs21]

Actually cracked? No, but I've had contusions (bruised) ribs a few times and it kills. You can't sleep properly, can't move properly, the wrong anything and it twinges and hurts.

Sympathy!

Getting out of bed is the worst. My doctor is making me sleep laying up.

Not one of *my* ribs.
But there was that usher in France , he got violent. I don't know if his ribs were cracked: I never heard or saw him again.

[Asker]

What kind of usher?

[jacquesvol]

One at a club who thought my tip wasn't enough

I've bruised my ribs before and that hurt like a bitch, I was sore for weeks. Having three quarters of a ton of horse landing on you isn't good for ones ribs

[willow74]

Yes. It's awful. Laying down in any position is agony. Coughing and sneezing make you want to cry. I actually cracked mine FROM coughing too hard.

[Asker]

Mine isn't from coughing but it is allergy season on high alert so I've been having this internal battle off to cough or not to cough. I know I have to cough, I put a pillow against my ribs but still...

Never cracked a rib, but last year I did tear my intercostal muscles from coughing so much. That was very painful.

I broke 3 of my ribs when we got into a car accident. I was about 12. Everytime I moved I could feel my ribs moving and it hurt like HELL.

[warren18]

I fractured my rib but I didn't break it. It was so annoying because they couldn't put my ribs in a cast to help them mend like they would an arm or leg.

Definitely the worst injury I've had, not because of how bad it was but because of how long it took to recover.

No I haven't ;-; I hope you heal up quick because it sounds painful :(

[oldanddecrepid]

No I have not, and that does sound like it really sucks... :(

[RainbowFanGirl]

Ouch. This made my chest hurt just reading it.

No that didn't happen to me, it sounds painful though.

[ihatethiswebsite]

I've never cracked a rib but I've had a rib removed.

[ShayanMortazavi1]

Yeah I've cracked a rib while eating it if that's what you mean

[zorro8888]

Not yet... how long does it take to heal?

[Asker]

Usually it takes three weeks or so for it to stop hurting if Tokyo laugh or cough.

[zorro8888]

They say try holding a pillow against your chest if you need to cough with a cracked rib.
Did they give you any pain killers?

[Asker]

No I won't take painkillers. They make me feel as if I'm in a haze and I can't get up in the morning. They gave me some benzos for sleep. It sounds counter intuitive but if I lay on the side with the broken rib it hurts less. If I roll over on to my back it hurts but once in settled in my back it doesn't hurt as bad to caugh.

[Dred1614]

I had a few fractured a few years ago.

[AhGojira]

Nope, I'm build like a tank. :D

[abc--123]

Nope never. Sounds very painful though
