RE: Anybody Crack a few Ribs?
I busted one rib when I was a kid. Got hit by a golfball that a friend whacked with a baseball bat. I had numerous broken bones since then, but the rib was the most painful. It felt pretty good after about 2 or 3 weeks, but was still tender when bumped or with exertion for a couple months.

Holding a small pillow against your ribs helps when you cough. Not much helps when you sneeze. It took me about three weeks to heal up enough so that when I sneezed it didn't stop me in my tracks.

Dirt bike accident Thanksgiving week '06. Broker all 6 ribs, entire left-side rib cage, and snapped my collar bone in half. I was three miles into the woods with no phone, no water and no help. Had to walk out and cringed with every single breath and step.Took me a solid three weeks to heal, and I prayed every day that I wouldn't have to cough, burp or hiccupp

In college i used to amature cage fight for spare $$$... (like UFC but much much less skilled and glorious) I took a pretty good beating one fight and as I got up (in a daze) i caught a knee to the ribs... it broke 2 and cracked 1... didnt really hurt much cause i was shortly there after knocked out... ha ha ha but ooh well... i was pretty much worthless for 3 months... I still train (at a much more advanced level of Kempo and mixed martial arts) but that rib shot was by far the most pain i have ever been put in... *lesson learned* keep your elbow low and chin tucked as you get up! or roll out to a grapple!

Monday monrning I was waking in my driveway and just remarked that there was no ice, just water.
2 seconds later I hit a patch of ice and my feet flew out from under me and I fell on my back and cracked 3 ribs on my left side and 1 rib on my right. Stayed in the hosipital ovenignt on Monday and came home yesterday.
Even with pain meds it hurts to do just about anything expect being totally still.
Can anyone who'sbeen through this let me know how long before I feel somewhat normal again?
