its painful everytime breathe but even if you have broken ribs there nothing u can do about it not even the hospital, just take painkillers
A fracture to the ribs is more painful than a break and yes you would have difficulty breathing due to pain
Oh yes, hard to beath in.
I have broken one rib falling off a pony!!
It really really hurts, like a knife going in at every breath.it took about 3 months for it to feel 'normal' again too.
I suggest if it is this painful, you should get it confirmed at A&E.
They only strap you up and say take pain killers though.
Even a cracked rib is painful, hope it helps!
no its easy
Oh yes, i've had broken ribs in the past & it is a kind of hard work breathing & it can be very sore.
yes and laughing or coughing is very painful.
Yes it hurts like fcuk. Breathing hurts, and you will have trouble lying down in any position other than on your back and have great difficulty in getting up again. There isn't much that they can do at the hospital, so get yourself some super-strength Ibuprofen from your GP and try not to move about too much for the next 4-6 weeks.
I have had my ribs broken and it was really painful to breath and it gets worse if you sneeze,cough or hiccup , pure torture. Its even worse if some one tries to make you laugh .
if only 1 rib is broken it can be painful & interfer with breathing
but be carefull of having flail chest syndrom whech is emergecy case resultin from 2 fractures in more then 1 rib
so u shuld have an x ray
Yep. It hurts like hell to take a deep breath, nasty sharp stabbing pain by the breaks.
One thing to watch out for is because you're only taking shallow breaths, you're more likely to get a chest infection which will give you a bad cough and that will REALLY hurt like hell! Nature has a cruel sense of humour.
There's nothing you can do about them, they'll just heal.
Make sure you're eating well, take your vitamins and minerals to aid healing and support your immune system.
I'd advise against pain relief, because the pain is there to prevent excessive disturbance of the break whilst it heals.
Best of luck!
Yes it will be painfull, and you can have difficulties breathing
laughing will also be painfull,getting up from a seated position can be very uncomfortable.
I havnt broken my ribs but i fractured the tiniest bit years ago, it was really odd but i couldnt jump up and down (e.g trampoline or running or anything)
it just started to really hurt and i couldnt breathe properly at all. it wasnt at all bad either but it really hurt,it lasted a good year, i feel sorry for anyone who has really hurt their ribs!!!
i did it falling onto the metal edge of a trampoline.! i tried to do a flip in the air and my stomach smacked against the metal side :( ouch
It depends on which rib you broke and whether it's a clean break or a fracture or a some other kind of crack.
The pain can range from discomfort stretching with hands overhead to constant pain while breathing, etc.
Generally, a crack on the floating ribs is a lot less annoying and probably won't even affect exercise or other daily chores.
In all cases, it takes a long time (6 weeks or more) to completely heal.
