So how long to heal up?
I feel like a dumb ass, had a DD Friday night (wife, she doesn't drink much) .. We went bar hopping , I got nicely buzzed, Came home bout 1130, out like a light in the bed, Woke up at 230am to drain the lizard, didn't cut on light, stumbled and fell onto the side of the bathtub hard with my rib cage... Hit so hard it knocked the breath out of me. Spent all day Saturday in pain... but it's a little more tolerable today, I can at least walk for 5-10 mins slow...
I didn't go to the emergency room because they can't do shit for ribs, Don't know if they are cracked or just bruised bad... Will go tomorrow morning to my Doc. I am going to be out of work a while, How long does it take for ribs to heal? |

All you have to do is sit there and steer, it's not like you have to load the ****ing thing.

Be damn sure you're good for it before you crawl up there. You'll hate life hard if you realize you shouldn't be doing it 10 miles into the trip. |

Get it checked.
I've had cracked ribs. Sucked. Felt like daggers every deep breath. I'd say it was about a month or so before I didn't really notice the pain...

No urgent care on Saturdays in your area? It's going to hurt for a while and pain pills would help that.

Got some pain pills dock gives me for when I have a gout attack , they have taken enough of the edge off of the pain I can tolerate.... I have been slowly walking up and down the driveway and get up from the chair to walk around atleast once an hour. I will never call another NFL player a pussy again for not wanting to play with sore ribs |

Only thing the doc can do is prescribe good pain pills. The thing you have to worry about with broken ribs is if the crack is near your lungs. A cracked rib can puncture one of your lungs, and that's no good at all. |

Best advice I have ever given or received: Do. Not. Sneeze.
Just don't do it. |
