Rib Injuries?


I went skating for the first time since june the week before the valo premiere.


LONG STORY SHIZORT

i taco'd a rail and my ribs have been fucked since



breathing hard hurts

coughing hurts

sneezing is paralyzingly painful

sleeping hurts



I dont think they are broken, but the prob is, i keep hurting them more every time i go out and play basketball


Should i see a doc, or just smoke mad advils?

When in doubt, see a doctor.

If you have Insurance def go to a doctor, if not get ta smokin son by all means. But honestly if you want them to heal without a doctor your prob gonna have to like not do anything for like a month or two.

I fractured 2 ribs on a handrail about 8 years ago. Same symptoms you have. It wasn't a serious fracture, bones weren't out of place, but it hurt like hell. Doc's will give you meds and recommend wrapping your torso in an ace bandage. DON'T trade your pain meds for weed. Coughing is second only to sneezes on the pain scale with jacked ribs. Also, stay away from comedies. Laughing is pretty painful, too. Could just be severe bruising, but I would get an x-ray.

i hate that. Yuo have to re-open the wound whenever you change your underwear. Get some gauze and wrap that shit, of course then it will heal to the gauze and youll have to take that off eventually, but less often and its more hygenic than having poop particles get into your cut from your skidmarked undies.

I broke two ribs and fractured one last year. It sucks for sure, but Im healed now. Just takes time.

Not much to do unless the bone is in danger of piercing your lungs/other organs. Painkiller of your choice is the way to go

[oldskizzle]

Pretty much been covered by posters before me, but I feel your pain man. Been there a couple times and it does suck.

They're probably broken.

I broke mine last week, and it didn't hurt too much. It's just miserable knowing that I can bend and maneuver my body in certain ways without experiencing sharp pains. The vicodin can only do so much.
