Damnation man... 
What happened?
What happened?
Well I broke some ribs and tore the intercostals (sp) a couple hours ago, and now I am really pissed and in agony, and I want to know how the fuck i am going to sleep. The doc said there wasn't much he could do and i am just wondering how long on average it takes until I won't be blacking out when I move around.

The bones are almost healed after 6 weeks... but you still have to be careful. Breathing and laying on your side are a bitch for weeks. If you have access to a water bed they are the easiest thing to sleep on.
Insist that your doctor upgrade your pain meds to at least percocet... and then mix the percocet with Advil. This gives you the strongest pain relief. Then pain isn't too bad after two weeks.
Don't watch any comdey stuff that makes you laugh.

are you going to get a full body cast?
they gave me some ultraset (sp) is that a percoset cousin? I also took some viox. I can still feel them snap crackle and pop when I move and it is sickening. My problem is that aside from the fact that I am 320 pounds I am really resistant to most meds and drugs. Thanks for the replies though....shit like this gets me pretty depressed.

When I cracked some ribs...the worst thing about it was that they could not do anything about it. They informed me that ribs have to heal with out a cast. I did take my fair share of painkillers and slept a ton. There was no way I was going to be able to sleep without the assistance of pills. What really helped me was the use of a heating pad on the area which was in pain. It also may also help sooth your muscles.
Be careful when taking a shower and all that stuff as well....because you will think the ribs are beginning to feel better and the water pressure from the shower head can hurt when it hits. Try (as gay as it sounds) hot baths instead.

Broke one really good about 4 months ago. It took 8 weeks. Went back to the gym after 6 but it wasn't right yet.
Check my gallery for the pic... If you care.. NOT!

Oh yeah, Ultracet is a pain killer called Ultram mixed with tylenol. It is pretty powerful stuff. The manufacturer claims it is non-addictive, but I think people are finding out otherwise. I've taken it before and it made me feel really good and alert. You don't want that shit....you want to sleep. Call your Dr. and tell him you are in severe pain and you haven't been able to sleep. He'll probably phone you in a script for Vicodin....
You can't phone in Percocet since it is a Schedule II narcotic.
