Yeah I've cracked a few in my time. There's literally nothing you can do, just take painkillers and try to avoid sneezing or laughing cos it feels like someone is stabbing you :? Night-times are the worse cos it's so hard to get comfortable in bed :?

Hope you get mended soon.

For you info B______ Stuie, it wasn't the double decker bus that cracked the ribs :lol: One time I got crushed at a Happy Mondays concert when I was a young pup-pess :oops: and the other was only about 18 months when some stupid woman fell off someones shoulders and landed on me knocking me out and cracking my ribs in the process :roll:

Well we all know the medicinal powers of wine don't we :lol: ;)

LG see if your doctor will prescribe you valium, that's what I got given when I said I couldn't sleep at night cos of the pain ;)
 
Yep, one of mine is cracked now,did it two weeks ago and it still hurts like mad. Agree with everything Barbie said, it's near impossible to sleep :(
 
bruised one playing football one week, plyed on and it just got worse


makes it really hard to take a full breath aswell, not a nice injury at all
 
I've broken around 9 of my ribs at one time or another.

I broke my collar-bone and 4 ribs while mountain biking a couple of years back.

I took myself to hospital in london and they took some x-rays, put me in a sling , gave me some painkillers and sent me on my way. I only took 3 of the painkillers on the first couple of nights while i tried to get to sleep but i found i was OK after that and didn't take anymore. It took me about 6 weeks to stop hurting bad when i sneezed/coughed/laughed but this was manageable.

I then broke 2 ribs while skiing early last year and broke a couple more skiing over christmas.

Its worse when they're cracked ot in the first week of mending as its easy to break the rib again. I've done this a couple of time. OUCH. Its one of those ones where the pain gets a bit boring after a while and your body learns to cope with it.

As long as you don't go mad while its broken, its OK and they mend quick.

He has given me strong pain killers. Not been sleepin too bad...keep waking up but managin to sleep quite well.

I did mine playin football, took a nasty tackle on astro last week and land funny....played agin on fri thinking was just a little bruise etc. Went to docs today as pain got no better.

Not allowed to drink at all pain killers, he said these ones would send me loopy.

Was meant to be going to speed queen in leeds on sat :cry:

Hope fully a couple of weeks then we will be back top the gym before ibiza on 27th July!
