I've had a really bad cough lately, and today I have sharp pain in my left chest area. It hurts a little to breath, but it doesn't actually hinder my breathing. My mom used to crack ribs coughing often because she has osteoporosis, which runs in our family. It skips a generation usually though, which would be mine.

Anyway, discuss broken bones, diseases, coughing, or other things. smile.gif

    k so.
    Here's what I've done.

    I was jumping on the trampoline at my cousin's house and there was like 4 of us on it.
    My older cousin was doing flips so I though, k I'll do some too.
    When I was bouncing foward, my cousin got in the way and my chin landed on the outer bar.
    I bit right through my bottom lip on one side.
    I was rushed to the hospital where my aunt was working, and then I got stitches.
    I hid behind a book at school for about 2 weeks, then got them out.
    Still have a nasty scar from it.

    The end.

    I punched a kid in the face and broke my hand. I felt like an asshole for getting more hurt than him. ):<

    My step brothers were on either side of a window; the younger one made a face at the older one. The older one kicked the window in and broke his foot.

    I would definitely go... but we have the NHS here, which makes things like this a lot easier to decide on.

    I would go, but really, there's not much they can do for a cracked rib. A lot depends on if you have insurance. Do you? If not, I'm sure there's sites online which tell you how to deal with it on your own if you're really desperate. Hopefully that's not the case though sad.gif

    I don't think there's much you can really do, ribs hurt a lot but they heal just fine without any medical attention. Maybe take a drive down and see if you can get some painkillers perscribed?
