What are is my rib cage at!? (1 Viewer)

[wild_cat]

I have this horrible pain in my lower left rib, it was a dull ache for about a month but around three hours ago I had a good cough and I felt a pop got a bit winded for a few seconds and now its fucking killing me.

The slightest movement of that area hurts. Ive taken a few pain killers and have something cold up against it. Ive googled lots of stuff but still no answers?

I always have an awful cough, could I have finally annoyed my rip cage from the fits of it?

Im knocking the exputex back to get rid of the cough..

(dont mind the heading take out the "are" in your mind if it bothers you)

You should get some reiki, its probably a build up of negative energy. Definitely don't go to a doctor.

Have you tried asking someone in the pub?

 

[the strange guy]

It's definitely a collapsed lung or an unnoticed bullet wound.
Either way, knock into the hospital whenever you're ready.
They're pretty good in this kind of area.

 

[wild_cat]

To harsh.

Seriously, im not breathless. Its just when I move and breath out to fast, I thought it might be a muscle strain.

 

[the strange guy]

Have you been hanging around Georgia in the last few weeks?
Or smoking soap bar?

Cancer or spiders babies no doubt.

Stop taking the piss out of me, this is a serious matter but not serious enough for me to go to a hospital.

I'll go to the doctor when I get back to wexford. Thanks, thats grand, no more advice or jeering needed.

Them Wexford doctors aint the best. The soapbar theory sounds the most likely to me.

People have been known to slightly crack a rib by coughing violently. If it hurts and or you're worried GO TO THE DOCTOR. As far as I'm aware, not much can be done for cracked ribs other than giving them time to heal. Kinda like a broken toe. Again, I'm no doctor.

 

[wild_cat]

No. I got pneumonia for that. I know the difference.

Cool, thank you.

All joking aside, I knew a lad who sat at home smoking soap bar
all day and his lung collapsed.
He's alright though.
Physically alright I mean, he's a boring fucker otherwise.

 

[Jill Hives]

Cool, thank you.

If you die, I take no responsibility.

Soap bar paranoia is defo setting in after reading that.

I get this sometimes, usually after one of my rEEeeeeEEeeeeeAAAaaaaaAAAaaLLllLlLLLyYYY fun chest infections which I seem to be eternally damned to hell for. Just give your body a rest and don't open your mouth for a few days roish and it'll begin to ease off.

If not, you're fucked.

Do you have an enemy who is proficient in Voodoo?

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Seriously, go to the doctor.

don't worry, it'll be ok.


fair play

 

[flashback]

similar thing happened to myself, except I was reefing my guts up at the time.

It was a pop, and a floating rib was dislocated into very obviously the wrong place, and then it popped back. Fairly nasty looking maneuverer.

Em, for me, it ended up with me having to do a lot of lower back exercises for it to go away. Its more or less alright now.

The muscles in your back do lots of things, including holding your ribs in the right place.

So, Doctor, and then lower back work.
