I can't go for a whole season without either cracking or bruising my ribs & this season has taken it's toll on me!
I am currently nursing for the third time this season bruised ribs & they are sore as f***... I can't cough/sneeze or breath properly without it hurting like mad & to lie down in bed is almost impossible & getting back up is more than a challenge! I literally have to pluck up courage just to get out of bed because the pain is unbearable! I have 2 weeks to recover until my next game which turns out to be the title contender between us & them! God I hope I am ok to play........

Oh well it's doctor time! My ribs are getting worse & worse & pretty much can't do anything including walking without the pain being severe. At times it also feels as if something is stabbing my from inside like a needle or pin, hence I think they could be cracked or broke. Atleast if I seek medical attention they can confirm this & hopefully give me something for the pain....

That's not right! But I can't see why it would be related to the rib cage being injured. If a rib pierced your lung, you'd have known about it long before now.
But I wouldn't book your summer holiday just yet.
They put it down to "shallow" breathing & gave me some breathing exercises to try....But I wouldn't book your summer holiday just yet.

Paracetamol will probably be just as good and less hardcore. (But I'm no doc.) I cracked a rib when I landed on the coping while skating a half pipe. It was damned painful eg when driving(!) but it does get better.
nope, good painkillers vital to allow you to take full breaths and not stagnate the peripheral lung tissue (alveoli) which in turn can lead to a chest infection.Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
