Im a rugby player, 13 years old, and this is happening to me right now. I want to know if its a fractured rib or a pulled muscle or something to know when i can return to rugby.
omg I was soooooooooooooo worried, this pain is excuciating....feeling a bit better since I learnt it's not unusual
I have had a cough for a month. Have had rib pain for about a week. Went to the ER last night. They did a chest xray and found my lungs were clear but i did have 3 broken ribs.
You have probably but dont worry pray about it
I broke my rib 9 months ago from coughing. First x-ray did not show anything and the doctor gave me some good pain kills and said to breath deep every hour (which hurts) 5 months later I got a CT scan for some else and was told I had a broken rib. What I would like to know once this happens can it happen again like each year when you get a chest infection or can you recover and not get it again?
Im in the same situation :( been coughing for a month now, xray result is negative and he gave me antihistamine and salbutamol, yesterday i coughed hard and i felt a pop in my lower left rib area, it was so painful i thought im going to pass out! Im can still feel thatbi have phleghn and can hear the wheezing sound i BADLY want to cough it all out but I cant cause it is too painful! everytime I try it is just too painful. Hope I get better soon, will see my doctor today.i hope they have meds for me to expel the mucous without feeling the pain. J
Rude2101646 they do hurt when you broke your ribs I have done it so many times I have lost count
I'm suffering from a broken rib caused by coughing verified by X-ray.... I doubt your a Dr
I had the exact same thing. About a month ago I came down with a cold and had the normal sinus infection symptoms of coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose. For about 4 weeks though now I have been coughing, and just last night, I turned to the side while I was sitting down, and I coughed. When I did that, I heard something snap or pop. Sharp pain shot up from my lower back, and everything got really hot and only slightly blurry. I've never fainted or passed out, so I don't know exactly what that feels like, but I want to say it almost felt like I was going to. I'm hoping I just pulled a muscle, but it really hurts. Every time I cough, it's excruciating pain, and it's hard to move around. I really hope it feels better by tomorrow.
I also have that severe pain in my lower right ribs and I am also pregnant with bronchitis. What did your doctor say?
I recently had a bad chest infection, and the cough was so bad i sometimes got sick fro coughing. I then developed severe pain on the left side of my chest, which was agonising if I sneezed or coughed, even movement, changing gears, getting dressed. Had chest and rib x-rays a couple of weeks later and was told I had fractured 5 ribs. I am osteoporotic as well, so it is very possible to have fractured ribs after severe flu and bad cough.
Ouch. I fractured two (confirmed in a scan) and that was bad enough. And my coughing is bad enough to cause vomiting as well, and I've had the damn thing since catching it from my husband back in february.
Yes, I discovered this to it helps alot
Thats exactly what I felt. Coughing and a Pop! Pain like nothing I've ever felt. I'm getting same advice from everyone. Nothing they can do wait it out!
Thanks for the advice. I'll try anything at this point
