Laughing with a cracked rib is the worst

Broke three when I took a charge playing basketball in HS. Dude landed right on my rib cage. Hurt like hell. Finished the game and practiced for a week before going to Doc.
Nothing they can do except pain meds. Don't recommend continuing to play. Will only make it worse.

Yup. Summer before last I broke a few ribs and tore the cartilage from my pec. It fricking sucked and made me totally worthless for about 6 weeks as far as physical activities. Only time helps which is the most annoying thing about it.

I would go and get checked....while there is nothing that they can do about it, if it really is cracked, you certainly don't want to do anything that will break the rib and puncture a lung or something like that...

Cracked 2 skiing about 2 months ago. Just had to suck it up and live with it for 6 weeks before getting back to normal

Yeah its fun, they had to cut through my ribs to get to my lung. Nothing is as fun as being on painkillers and trying to jump up on a bed.

Stay away from people who are funny. If u have allergies, stay inside and load up on antihistamines. If breathing was optional, I'd say don't .
Tylenol is your best friend but still not all that good. The heavier hitters among pain meds only help you to sleep through it but if you cough, sneeze, laugh etc. nothing is going to stop that pain.
Take it easy and good luck.

I Tripped over my mangy mutt of a dog at Christmas and broke myself up pretty good.

A compression wrap is your best friend. Wrap that sucker tight so you dont keep re-cracking it every time you sneeze or cough. Thats all the dr did for me when I broke 3 on my right side.
