Bruised ribs

Post by Benny&Co »

Some of you may already know I've got bruised ribs at the moment.

Blimey it's blooming painful {cry}

Managed to do them coughing during the time I had that chest infection/bug/lesser thing to what Hubbly had.

They started to feel right, so, as you do, I started doing more last Wednesday.

Well come the evening the pain was back with avengence {cry}

Been having regular pain relief, along with application of diclofenac gel and ice packs. It all takes the edge off but still very painful.

I've tried completely (well, almost) resting, doing things and it still hurts.

I know there's nothing that can be done really for ribs, as it's not like you can stop breathing is it yike*

Feeling a bit sorry for myself, each day I think it's getting a bit better then I'll have a big sneeze, cough or giggle and it really hurts.

Ouchies Bev :( very gentle {hug}

I hope you feel better soon.

I know what you mean about "it's not like you can't stop breathing" {rofwl} I hate it when my ribs get inflamed, there's just no comfy position because you need to breath!

Thanks all of you {hug}

I've started taking codeine now, which in turn is making me sleepy and forcing me to rest. Finally, think I'm getting somewhere with it >fi<

Little update.

>fi< I think the ho-rrible's are getting better. This last few days not as painful. I can blow my nose, yawn and giggle without being in excrutiating pain. Sneezing is still a bit awful, but we're getting there.

Phew )t'

Sorry you're having a rough time, Bev. Somebody once quoted to me 'this too, will pass', and I found it helpful to think that way.
