cracked rib?
December 29, 2016 at 11:00 am
Talked to a relative who has had several of them and we're thinking I managed to do my first a couple weeks age with a little slide and bump on a stairway.
Medically, not much can be done, it isn't bad enough to puncture my lung, so it's a put up with it till it gets better.
Poo! Damn thing hurts!

I cracked a rib coughing, New Year's Eve, 2010. Heard the riverfront fireworks from the ER at the VA. When the Doc told me what had happened I naturally WTF'd. "You big guys are more susceptible to that kind of thing." Thanks, Doc.

Yikes. Sounds awful. I just spent over a year waiting for my hyper extended knee to more or less heal, which it has .. more or less. Time to leave the lifting of bales to others and get a desk job?

Compression wrap and suck it up.
Bubble wrap if you think the behavior will continue.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Was traveling and staying in an unfamiliar house, missed the top step on the way to a 4AM potty break. I'm not there now, so I can eschew the bubble wrap. Everything I need at my place is on the main level except the laundry, which I can ignore for a while.
With the colonoscopy, my med choices are rather limited, Tylenol has never been much of a fav of mine, and that's all I can have now.
Poo.

Great way to get pneumonia.
Depends on the amount of compression.

I think I cracked a rib over the summer when I fell down. Hurt like hell for about 3 weeks. I sympathize, man.

Well over a week, just checked, about 12 days.
At least I can get comfy to sleep.
After a week of no improvement in the pain, started to suspect the cracked rib scenario. I've been spared till now, have some relatives plagued with them.
