Astanley 11,580 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Is there different types of breaks or are some ribs worse to break ? I had a couple of broken ribs and it was painful for a couple of weeks but nothing like what has been mentioned on here ,and before anyone accuses me of being all Socks about it ,I'm not the least macho and I have a very low pain threshold . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 i have broken ribs on three occasions, twice when i was a stupid lad fightin g (got stamped on once, and got beaten by two blokes with barstools once) and the third time i had an argument with a horse. i found cool water was very helpful floating about in the swimming pool or even lying in the bath. and for fecks sake DO NOT SNEEZE! you will think you have been shot! give it a month and you will be past the worst of it.

gnasher16 30,470 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 The floating ribs at the bottom you can break without really knowing it but normally the higher up you go the more painful it gets......along the bone itself the closer to the sternum or the spine where the bones thicken out the longer healing will take......most of the pain is not from the break itself but all the connecting tissue and muscle etc Ive broken a number of ribs myself............................and had some of my own broken as well . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I got 2 broken quite high up and close to the sternum too (I can still feel the calcified parts) and I didn't realise at the time. It was sore for while but got better in about 4 weeks. I must just be hard as fcuk Must be more to it I think,but if the pain's unbearable there's no shame in going back to the doctors and getting the strongest pain relief they'll give,especially if it effects your breathing.

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Broken ribs are a bitch. I'd rather have a broken leg than break any ribs ever again. Although not recommended, I did discover that a shit load of Southern Comfort and pain killers helped me sleep one night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
