Yes it hurts! Movement hurts, breathing hurts and coughing is the worst.It's damn painful. I honest to God thought they'd broke.
I've had 4 fractured ribs due to being thrown from a horse.

Have you tried Musinex?I've still been coughing up congestion & it's been super painful trying to keep it gentle.
I think that's what got me in this mess in the first place. It's not really a good idea for those with COPD.Have you tried Musinex?
Just joking.Why are you nauseated and confused?
Thank you!! I was gonna stay and visit but i'm fadin away. may have to go sleep again for a bit.MarciKS...Owwweeee!!!!! You might as well have broken them. Doubt that could hurt anymore than it already does
Have no words of wisdom on making the coughing or the ribs any better....BUT....
I have a lot of prayers, and they are going from
my lips to God’s ear that you start healing and feeling better soon!
I take it and it helps me. I've read that it helps those with COPD.I think that's what got me in this mess in the first place. It's not really a good idea for those with COPD.
Sometimes it makes me cough too much. I may just need to use it less.I take it and it helps me. I've read that it helps those with COPD.
let's see, trying to find things to do is an obstacle with cold temperatures and snow on the ground. One good thing, I was operating without teeth for six months until I got the idea to put in the upper denture plate with the idea to hold a snorkel in mouth. It worked, now I can snorkel at Y pool in preparation for scuba certification.How's things going since retirement?
Glad things are going well.let's see, trying to find things to do is an obstacle with cold temperatures and snow on the ground.

I'm getting much needed rest, otherwise would have been ignored. I'm looking for work, but not completely dedicated in doing so.
What surprises me most are the people who care about me. I don't think about impressing anyone for social gain, so it is surprising when people like me.
So sorry to hear you are dealing with such agony. I sincerely hope things settle down a bit so you can get some rest.morning pam
it's quarter till 6 AM & i got awakened by a coughing fit that i swear was trying to kill me. trying to cough gently with broken ribs is terrible. i looked it up. apparently fractured is the same thing as broken. i thought it just meant cracked. i was in growling agony for about 10 min. so i'm awake once again.
Fractured and broken are synonymous, Marci. And you also risk puncturing a lung if you do not get adequate rest an let them heal. Driving is a no-no. Get your pharmacy to deliver your meds. And do try to deep breathe even though it hurts.They're not broken they're fractured. And yes you can get pneumonia and your lung can collapse so I been taking deep breaths every so often as best I can. I have several devices to help with breathing.
I suppose it’s one of those things you get after surgery. Did you get one of those?
You mean the back stabilizer?
I've been doing deep breathing. I drive with my other hand mostly. Wearing a back stabilizer to help keep things from shifting. I go back to work Thurs but I can get help with the heavy stuff. The stabilizer is helping me get some rest. I can also get a collapsed lung so I'm being super careful. Thanks for your concern.Fractured and broken are synonymous, Marci.
