Fractured ribs

[tacappa]

Hi, just wondering if anyone here has suffered fractured ribs, and if so, how long did it take for them to heal? I fractured 9 ribs in Jan. and at the end of Mar. they were still fractured. Im not sure if they still are, but they are still sore as hell.

Fracturing ribs is terribly uncomfortable. Even bruised ribs are a pain. Problem is with ribs, there is no way to stabilize them or limit movement. This means it is going to take longer for the bones to heal. Breathing hurts, coughing or sneezing really fucking hurts, and there really is no way to get comfortable. I think you are going to be on the down hill slide soon.

yeah, its been 4 months since i fractured them, and sneezing is still a very bad thing, although not near as bad as it was at first. for the first month and a half, every time i moved, my ribs would grind and crack. it was so bad, i could hear it. anyway, thanks for the input.

Have you seen a doctor? they should begin healing by now,,,however it can take awhile and is very painful.
