Malt 379 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 They won't do anything apart from issue decent painkillers mate. All I can suggest is keep taking as deep a breaths as you can manage. If you start taking shallower breaths you run the risk of pneumonia. That's the reason they don't advise you to strap them up any more. If you'd have broken them I'd have thought that you'd have been in real bad pain from the off though. I'm no doctor, but what you've got sounds like bad bruising to me IMO.

tegater 789 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I've had broken ribs twice now, the last time last January. There is nothing that can be done for them apart from not doing anything that's puts pressure on the muscles, and plenty of painkillers. The last time I broke them the real pain started a few days water and spread right around to my back. Not the back bone, but the shoulder area. Keep smiling and all the best.

ginga john 268 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 If the rib or ribs are broke you'd be in agony ( did mine twice the year before last !) could also be just torn tissue between the ribs or between the ribs and the lungs But for certain of they are broke you'll have a chest infection within a week, and thats even less fun :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
