Rib muscle injury, how long does the pain last?

[SugarPuff]

Ouch! I tore a muscle on my ribs once through coughing. I was pregnant with no2 child and had a terrible cough that lasted a good couple of months. The pain from the torn muscle lasted even longer and I couldn't take anything strong to kill the pain. I thought I'd actually broken a rib, the pain was that bad. Every cough or movement was agony, and with a 3 year old and a bump, 'uncomfortable' was an understatement!

Hope you recover quickly!

Yes, I have got that feeling of being punched in the chest Mathom, every time I make a sudden movement I get it, unfortunately it's usually accompanied by a few words that turn the air blue, I can't help it and think the neighbours must think that I have finally lost it. I have never had pain like this before, the pain killers don't seem to be much help, so tonight I am going to try alcohol as an analgesic and take plenty of it! Knowing my luck I will probably go and fall down stairs and damage the other ribs.

 

Thanks.

 

Which means you need to sit in one place and have someone bring you the alcohol

Now that does sound good Becky B!

Should the person who brings the alcohol also go out and buy it for me? Not that I want to push my luck:hihi:

I think that's going a bit too far!
