Posted: 01/08/07 - 15:08 Post subject: Cracked ribs with pneumonia???
I had pneumonia about 5 weeks ago. Cough is gone but still have a lot of pain under right breast bone. Hurts to cough, sneeze, laugh, or lay on my back. I have also (though maybe not related) developed hives over the last week. Could I have suffered a cracked rib during my coughing fits 5 weeks ago or could I have another infection in my lungs?
