Same here, my left side... the Dr told me today that is not uncommon... Probably just a fracture that will heal. Sucks though
YES THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. I HAD A SEVERE COUGH THAT WENT INTO WALKING PNEUMONIA. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL SINCE I WAS IN HORRIBLE PAIN AND THE ER DOCTOR SAID I HAD 6 CRACKED RIBS. I WAS SHOCKED. HE THOUGHT I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT BUT I WAS NOT. I WAS IN THE HOSPTIAL FOR 4 DAYS. BE CAREFUL AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
Thanks you for posting, I have almost the exact same story. The only explanation so far for my cracked rib ( x-ray found) is a severe cough I had one morning. The kind of cough that takes your breath away..
I am in the same predicament. Coughed so hard with the flue for about two weeks... I had to wear a diaper. That has gotten better but now I got the left side of my ribs killing me. Unable to do anything includong sleep.
I can't get anywhere near comfortable... Can't roll over in bed. Or use my left arm to help me get up or move. Can anyone tell me how long this will last? Due to all the problems with addicts ...they told me to take Motrin. It is not nearly enough.... So I am having to take note that trccomrnded amount. Maybe I can screw up my liver in the process..
This sucks

Yes it is definitely possible, I had swine flu a few years ago and I coughed so much and so hard I actually split my sternum..! Never been in so much agony in all my life and I've had big babies
While driving I sneezed and felt a pop right under my right breast. It is so sore when touched but sneezing and coughing are causing killer pain. What is this?
