This is great! I had rib plating for 9 broken ribs. My surgeon felt that tylenol and acetaminophen should manage my pain. I dont know what f-d up mindset he has, but Ive suffered for 6 weeks miserably. Im going to see a pain management doctor next week. All I want is my life back 😣
I agree with you! The ER doctor pumped me full of three pain meds for fractured ribs. One being morphine, yes morphine the pain med that hospice patients are given. I was sent home with Tylenol #3. This did not help with the pain. I believe I could have taken a tic tac and would have had the same result as I did with the Tylenol. At least I would have fresh breath while doing the breathing exercises. This is very painful. I hope you are better. It's been a month for me. I am some better but still I want my life back.
Hi Dr. Parker,
This is my first time on your channel. I sustained a rib injury last Thursday, so it’s been 9 days since the injury. A friend ended up on top of me during a fall in a soccer game. I was fine immediately before the fall, during the fall and after the fall. The injury occurred as I was trying to get up because my friends dead weight was over my right-middle torso side, and as I was trying to get up I saw the outer (outside of the S-shape) edge of my rib fold and pop; I felt immediate pain, and it has stayed in that position since. x rays the morning after showed no bone fractures according to the doctor I saw, who believed I had a bruised rib. Since then I’ve spoken to two other doctors, and I don’t know who to believe because I feel I have been misdiagnosed. Being an athlete all my life has given me a thorough knowledge of my own body, and I immediately know when something feels or looks wrong. As a result of this injury, my torso does not look the same. My body type is athletic, and I am thin enough to naturally have some outline of my ribs exposed, after this injury, the right side of my rib cage no longer has this shape. I feel that due to this fracture, the lower right-half of my rib cage has collapsed from the point of the fracture, and I am not doing well. I’m afraid my rib cage is going to heal/stay in this deformed shape, and I don’t know what to do at this point. This incident has made me very upset at the fact that I have damaged my body, and I hope there is something that can be done to fix the damage.
Currently sad.

Doctors don't have to do a good job. They will be paid nevertheless and paid handsomely. You try that in your profession, soon you'd be without a job.
Did u. Healed
Just broke 6 ribs. Hell of a pain. Hospital for 6 days, multiple pain injections and bed rest. Now home and walking and recovering . Still much pain, 4- 6 weeks healing.
I'm week 2...never new such pain to linger.
Nice explain Drew brees got ribs fracture and had questioned but you explain it very well blow my mind it get heals by it self wow God is great.
Too much talk and too little information. The skinny version is that cracked or broken ribs are going to be excruciatingly painful for 7-10 days, painful for another week or 10 days, with increasing normal mobility and mild to moderate discomfort for about 10 days. Some doctors will give no pain meds, others will prescribe Tylenol 3, and irresponsible ones will give a script for opiates. I had 8x5g morphine tablets for my last break, and it only turned the red hot pain to stabbing pain. Painkillers will not aid healing so although it may sound cruel, the best option is to ride it out by catching up on your reading and other low movement. activities.
still pain tender and soreness after three months x ray totally normal no pain in breathing or sneezing but tenderness still three sometimes it aches little bit how long it take to normal
I suffer from Stage 4 Congestive heart failure. Wondering if the ribs could be surgically broken and lengthened, giving me a larger rib-cage volume?
I’m sorrr about your heart I just said a prayer for you god bless you I pray god heals you
2 years ago: MVA Sweet Subdural hemtatomaaa!! 5 fracture ribs. 2 days later. PNA set in and lung collapes Vented for 2 days...Fun stuff. Drugs are good.
Jesus man how are you even typing this to us right now
Im 55. I broke 21 of my ribs in an atv accident. They were sticking out the skin of my right side. Punctured lung, spleen, kidney and diaphram. It only hurts when I can see. Only got a weeks worth of pain meds. Opiod crisis? I had my own opiod crisis.
Doctor I was in accident with 8 ribs were plated what can I do to recover faster plus collar bone and shoulder bone in general how many months to heal
my girlfriend before car accident nine rib fracture did you do surgery?
Can I fracture my ribs from sneezing
I fractured mine on the right side from coughing. They sent me home with pain meds. I almost wish they had kept me in the hospital. I am 63 years old. It is so painful 😖
I'm in my 30s. Was exercising and heard a loud popping sound but felt no pain. That was 4 days ago. Next morning, I started to experience pain and it has been gradually getting worse. Now I'm up at 2 in the morning doing research. I pray that I do not need this surgery and it will heal fast on it's own. Pray for me : (
@@Fasil777 Make sure you go to the ER and mine he was on his own, yes it was painful. 🙏🏽
@@curlypdub9283 I did thank you. All good now
Two nights before the scheduled test flight to fly faster than the speed of sound, Yeager broke two ribs when he fell from a horse. He was worried that the injury would remove him from the military mission and went to a civilian doctor in nearby Rosamond, who taped his ribs. Yeager told only his wife, as well as friend and fellow project pilot, Jack Ridley, about the accident. On the day of the flight, Yeager could not seal the X-1's hatch by himself. Ridley rigged up a device, using the end of a broom handle as an extra lever, to allow Yeager to seal the hatch.
I have a question I fractured my rib bone in for me I have to like walk on the pressure so I walk like really weird and I’m scared that I’m gonna be stuck like what should I do?
I have a upper left rib fracture/broken and it hurts bad and iam 35yrs old
I got hit by a car in a crosswalk riding my bicycle this past 2020 Valentine's day and the force of the impact threw me from my bike and I landed straight down on the top left side of my head. I had a helmet on which saved my life. I suffered a left non displaced rib fracture, another contusion under my left armpit, a fracture of my left little finger, blunt chest trauma and more deep bruising of my left shoulder. I refused any Opiate pain medication right away and 3 weeks later I still maintained without it. I have been taking Ibuprofen and Gabapentin. I have headaches everyday, all day long. My left toes go numb from time to time and my left knee has caused me to limp when I walk. I was told I did not have a concussion the day of the accident. My eyes are so dry all day long along with the headaches, I sometimes see double while reading as well.
my wife had her gall bladder taken out and after the operation she had this bad pain in her side for months and she just kept asking what was going on, eventually after almost a year of wandering around asking doctors what the hell was causing the pain, one of them figured it out and said it was probably a nerve where the rib attaches that was damaged
on a side note, you will pay for it one way or another eventually, either it'll heal bad and you'll live with the pain it'll cause later on in life, OR you'll have to get it fixed later anyways.
i fell in my friends basement, didnt think i hurt anything, i felt fine, it was tender thats was all, so i went about my life, 10 years later, i can't hardly walk on this thing and it's because i broke my knee cap, i wouldnt have this issue had i just went to the doctor and got it checked out. so just go see a doctor when you hurt yourself, i'm only 39 years old and i have a limp, it's so dumb, and was totally avoidable
why does is feel like my rib is bent with a big bulge where the crack was its been three months, will my rib ever be as strong as the others? will it always be bent? nobody mentioned realigning or surgery to me and I'm a boxer so id like to know that its healed strong
This doctor is hottttt
Not sure that you’ll see this, but I have a question if you don’t mind. I definitely fractured at least one or maybe two of my ribs about two weeks ago. It seemd to be slowly getting better, but for whatever reason today it has begun to be extremely painful. Regular breathing hurts, sitting, standing, or laying down, it doesn’t matter. It hurts In the front and in the back, which is made it hard for me to identify the exact location. I hate going to the ER, especially when I’m in pain like this.
go to the ER. could be ribs broken more or lung collapse
Rib fracture 8 1march how can recovery
Why is it changing? (From not needing surgery) Did people all the sudden stop healing? 😐
As a recipient of this surgery, I am very thankful that they did plate my ribs. I had 16 broken ribs with multiple breaks on each broken rib. I had what is referred to as flail chest and I would not have survived without this surgery. My injuries were 16 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, my other lung was bruised, a lacerated liver, and a broken thoracic vertebrae. The rib plating stabilized my ribs and allowed for my lungs to heal. I was in the ICU for two weeks and on a ventilator for three. Without this surgery I would have died.
They need money
jonathan sprague Wow..glad you are still with us. You obviously were a candidate for surgery.
Story writers will benefit from videos like these a lot as you also explain what happens AFTER the first aid process. Thank you!
Agreed. I also write for a living, but I actually did crack a rib today
@@filmfelineadmin Hope you recover well and quick!
fell a few days ago, and it hurts to breath when I try to get up from sleeping or bend over
Are you okay now? I fell i think i fractured a rib but does it heal on its own?
go to the doctor dummy, even if your broke they still have to treat you unless you dont live in america, figure out how to pay for it later
@@apexlegend2068 sure, unless it doesnt, and then your doomed, cuz they have to go in and do 2x more work trying to fix a badly healed in place fracture, why do you people do this dumb stuff, go to the doctor!
@@seanc8054 because 99.99% of the time they can't do anything and it can cost a ridiculous amount of money
I had 4 rib fractures ribs 5-8 and separation with hepatic steatosis. :(
I was involved in a head on collision broke my foot, leg, 4 ribs, sternum and nose. It hurt so bad. I also had to use crutches and or a walker I thought I was going to die from pain. Still recovering and was nervous about the outcome so far no surgery in any of my breaks. The hardest thing is not working out, walking and in general being way less active.
Thank you for the video!
Hi can I talk you please help me
Do you know anything about sternums. I dislocated my sternal manubrium joint
I had 2 ribs plated about 3 weeks ago,the pain is still pretty bad during my recovery.The surgeon said that i'll feel alot better after 2 weeks.Is the recovery from the procedure supposed ro be this miserable?I have to go back to work in two weeks and im worried i might not be ready.
You won't be ready. Was I right?
I've got 2 broken ribs, one displaced and a third cracked. On my right back.
I can feel one of the breaks move when I breathe.
I am nearly immobilized between the recliner and bed.
I spent 5 hours in the er.
-10 mins admission
10 mins for x rays
Talked to doctor for 6 mins.
I got sent home with 5mg Percocet 3x day.
Lidocaine patch.
And and NSAID..
I'm in agony.
In the 3rd world country called Netherlands, i had a bicycle accident, they took x-ray but they told me that there is no fracture without showing my xray which is the usual practice by gangsters in netherlands. Now 2 years later I am having difficulties breathing. I took xray and i see two unhealed broken ribs hiting my lungs while inhaling.
Need help, broke 5-10 ribs in sept. 3 ct scans later they are not healed. What should I do?
Good you are better, thank God
Hi i would like to know can i safely perform CPR on a friend who has had open heart surgery, but is also needing 2 more open heart procedures.
Would i crack the chest wall open if something was to happen
Thank you
greetings from australia, i have a rib fracture, is it okay to inject the fracture with a steroid and lignocaine, i am in a lot of distress as it happened yesterday.
Hi
No
If you have had trauma to the body and have beliefs that its fractured, SEEK MEDICAL HELP, get a professionals opinion. You could even feel fine for a few days then immediately be in agonizing pain, stay safe people
Thank you Buck! I broke a rib five days ago and this is by far the best advice I've seen on line, and I have been looking around alot. I took to fasting and I tried to move around. I thought what you said was very clever and well informed. I have noticed that my belly looks swollen. How bad is that? I will follow you, of course!
So glad I only broke one, multiple broken ribs sounds like a nightmare
I broke 2 from a fall and it hurts like crazy. I'm so scared of coughing or sneezing!
@@deenugent473at least sneezing is easy to stop
@@carewser How would you stop a sneeze? Any secrets? I'm so afraid to sneeze since it's allergy seasons now.
@@deenugent473 just stick your finger under your nose
Covid has turned allergy season into a witchhunt
@@deenugent473 how it took for full recovery ?
Thorough and well explained! Thank You.
Broke a couple ribs 10 months ago. I seen 9 doctors. The last being a thoracic surgeon. He diagnosed a non union rib fracture on my 10th and a 9th rib that is trying to heal. Huge annoyance, but not excruciating pain. I can do quit a bit but the breaks are on my back. When they go out of place, I can feel the pocket with my hand on my back. When they go back in, I can feel they are uniform with my hand. I just can't understand why they haven't healed in almost a year.
It is 2022 and hospitals are NOT doing this. I need to be in the hospital.
I was standing on a table for some reason and it fell and It hit the sharp bit. I broke the table
I am more confused now, after listening to this. 😳
Hello, Dr. Parker.
Great videos. Thank You.
I had an accident, fell and got hit between the thorax and the abdomen. We did anteroposterior x-ray. It didn't show any fractures, but the twelfth and the eleventh ribs cannot be seen on the x-ray. We did ultrasound of the abdomen, everything seems ok.
BUT, I FEEL SOME FRAGMENTS MOVING WHEN I LAY ON MY BACK AND MOVE, OR WHEN I INHALE DEEPLY. I think one or two lower ribs are broken. Pretty sure. I am a dentist. We studied the whole body. Seems like a little less moving after few days, but it's still there.
What if the moving persists during the time? Do You think that I could stop feeling that? Or should I get plates?
Thank You!
Displaced vs non displaced. You can get a second opinion but displaced fractures are more clear to see and maybe your doc just didn't catch no displaced. Lie down, don't move, take antiinflammatories like curcumin and in about 5 days you'll be fine. I do martial arts and I'm a pediatrician's kid. Oh also ice it down it will help. Stay away from dairy bc it promotes mucus. You want your lungs clean and breathing,pneumonia free.
My problem is I have chronic pain and am on meds for osteoarthritis with stenosis in the spine and osteoarthritis. I've had 3 joint replacements about to have #4 when I broke my ribs and I was bleeding under my skin. I also have Ehlers Danlos and have torn I don't know how many tendons - hence the blood. After 3.5 hours at ER a doctor condescendingly said there's no treatment and I can't get meds because I have a PM Contract.
Basically, when I go to the ER for a bad tear they treat me as a drug seeking junkie. Sometimes I'm left waiting alone watching nurses go in and out for food. I sit and wait for discharge papers. This time I left AMA. I should have just rolled out with their chair. This is how I learned ER is worthless unless you're shot or having a heart attack. It would help people like me to get people like you to lecture ER.
I saw a dream where I went down a hill with my bike and crashed into the tree in X formation. It somehow didnt hurt in the dream and my classmates told me that dont take it out but i took it out and snapped it in half and then i had a huge hole in my chest
I really like this kind of video! Can you pls start doing some more of these?
HIM: ALL THAT GOOD STUFF
ME:😳😳😳
Broken ribs are terrible i broke 9 10 11 12 last week and they hurt like satan has on stilletos fresh from hell and is putting out a cigar on my soul with them Unfortunately its extremely hard to get pain management because of all the drug abusers. Basically i was told theres no treatment other than time.How long should it be before the Dr. takes a second look to make sure everything is healing correctly? Also i take ice baths twice a day half ice half cold water it seems to help.
Apricot would be a good color too

My husband fell of the roof of our 2nd story home while doing our Christmas lights. The ladder slid. He landed on our fire pit that was lit and he broke 4 ribs, scrapes, cuts, mild burns and has really hurt his wrist and scapula from the brunt of the fall.
What can I do to make him comfortable and make sure he does while home? What can I tell our young kiddos to not do (ages 11, 7 & 6) When should I bring him back to the hospital if something may be wrong? Thank you so much ❤
I fell, breathing hurt, but I can breathe deep. Breathing through nose, laughing, coughing.. hurts something brutal. 5 days in, I lost my voice, a little clear phlegm. I have been active since injury, constricting makes it worse. No fever, no blood, no headache, no shortness of breath at all. I know heal time can be about 6 to 8 weeks. Pain is back to front sternum. I don't feel displacement, just large affected area.
Seek medical help, a few xrays is worth seeing if you are truly messed up or able to recover without surgery
I have recently broke ribs 5,6,7,8 and my back hurts in one area.
3 to 9 with surgery and still with thoracic and chest pain after 14 months. Annoying
Dr Parker, you're able to get your thoughts and experiences across very well. Have you ever thought about teaching?
I teach all the time!! :D
He's shooting for bigger ... the new Doctor Oz!
@@drbuckparkerI got chest injury 4 month ago x ray was totally normal most probably bruised rib and soft tissue injury, while i have total motion, but the area of injury still temder after four months, is this normal, or tenderness is permanent if no how much time to get pain free
@@piyushkumar-me1nb it’s not typical to hurt 4 months later if there was no fracture. My guess is u had a fracture but that was not seen on xray. That can happen. I might go back to your doctor and see if they want to do X-rays or CT scan now. Either way it’s probably going to be ok just may be a bit longer to heal. Unless u have trouble healing some fractures don’t heal correctly but that type usually shows up on x ray.
@@drbuckparker doctor said muscle injury is also there that is also paining on doing palpation, and I don't had any pain on deep breathing,some pain was there on laughing loudly whicj subsided in one month, but tenderness is still there so that is problem, doctor says muscle take longer to heal but isn't four months enough for muscle?
I have 4 broken ribs and three fractured ribs from a motorcycle accident in Daytona Beach a week ago . My pain level is off the charts. I did not go to the hospital for two days after the accident. How long do you think this is going too last?
Hi Dr Parker, I was diagnosed with a bruised rib on my left side after a fall..I am recovering from the ACDF post operation week 2. After the fall,I experienced an excruciating pain on the left side right where the ribs are. I was thinking it's just a an inconvenience and I will be able to manage the pain by taking the morning. I was wrong, I am having difficulty breathing because it hurts to breath and the pain is unbearable. Today I was at the urgent care to check out the pain. I was told after the chest x-ray that I have rib bruises. My question is does the x-ray really is sufficient to show a bruised rib or should I have a CT scan to make sure it's not a rib fracture? My pain is still very excruciating and I'm still hurting pretty bad on where I was told I have a bruised rib? Should I have my ribs checked again by my PCP? Btw, I'm 53 yrs old and like I said recuperating from my ACDF surgery 2 weeks, please do respond..thanks for your wonderful video.
They don't know.
Does it still pain now

it only gets worse
Hi Kent after 10 months ago
I hope you felling better
As I pray for you in the name of Yeshua the healer .
He will give the the strength to go on .
I broke a rib snowboarding and it healed slightly incorrect 22 years ago. It kind of sticks out of my chest a little and prevents me from surfing to paddle on my stomach. Any advice?
I live in New York and the doctors didn’t do anything but send me home with pain pills I have three broken ribs on my back hard to breathe don’t know if I need surgery !
It still aches after 4 months but now pain is mostly tenderness and soreness and soft tissue paim how many more months it takes to go normal
I am having pain on off from rip fraction for almost 12 years.but don't know what to do
Um, see a doctor
Fell off my bike three days ago. Thought I’d maybe bruised/fractured a rib but pain was manageable for the first two days. Now on day three the pain has become unbearable. Can’t walk without serious pain and keep feeling a clicking around the area as though the rib is moving. I’m surprised it’s all of a sudden gotten much worse. I’m still not sure whether there’s any point going to the doctor!?
What happened to you. Got my rib busted on Tuesday now its Sunday and the pain has gotten worse since friday. I was feeling ok till Thursday
I broken three of my ribs and the hospital sent me home I am 60 years old and know one has help me out and I have three broken ribs and know one cares about me and it happened on December 22, 2018 I fail inside the bathtub taking a shower and it did not have anything to hold on to and it is still been taken care of
I just learn that I broke my rib three years ago and it didn't really heal and now I need surgery that's the cause of my chronic pain
Certainly understand the pain. For a few MONTHS now have had 2 badly broken ribs and a badly compressed thoracic rib. Very tight, sore, hard to breathe and sleep without chest feeling like it's folding in half. Coughing and sneezing are torture as is movement which gets worse and worse. Constant massive pain in sides, centre of chest and back now extending all across bottom of top chest ribs on front as well. Think it just keeps breaking over again every time I move. Sometimes can't even hold a glass because glass is too heavy. Older person living on own with osteo.
Causing BP of 170 compared to normal 110 to 130. Will likely take years to heal so can't even pick things off of floor. Often also feel short of breath. Spend most days and nights not moving. Multiple bsources roken bones are not for wimps, that's for sure. Sometimes can't even turn head at night. Great video. Thanks. Only question is, is it possible for both sides of each of the 3 broken bones to eventually heal forever broken and detached which could make them slip past each other at every bend and lift and break repeatedly for a lifetime or even cause other ribs and spinal parts to very easily break?
Hows it going 4 years on?
Older guy when my dog undercut my feet landing with single apparently nondisplaced fracture of the rib. Back on my feet, thought maybe only a deep back bruise. Next morning, coughed and resulted in fully displaced break... extremely painful! To ER, pain meds, CT and back home. Literally had to slide out of bed for several days, but 5-6 days in, good to go. Big, big difference between nondisplaced and displaced fracture of the rib!
So fully displaced is better?
@@Mereship No, better the bone remains non-displaced. My 2 cents based on my experience and research, but I’m not a medical professional.
Hi Doc, I had an accident in a Motorbike few years back. It impacted my right lower ribs but an immediate checkup at hospital didn't show any fracture. I was prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxant for few days. And after that there was mild pain only which was on and off.
But since last 1 year that lower right rib region is causing lot of pain, visually seeing in mirror the lower right ribs (9-10th ribs are compressed inside and look abnormal) while the left rib looks perfectly fine in place. I did check with a doctor few months back and after x-ray showed nothing wrong, got a CT scan done which also showed no fracture or anything wrong.
I have this poking pain in my lower right ribs when I am sitting , sleeping on my back and certain postures.. I am having this pain and stress daily basis and it is effecting my work and family life , I avoid doing much work or go out with family due to this stress and pain.
I feel this is close to slipping rib syndrome. I feel there is tissue, cartilage damage in that area.
I showed last week to a general physician and he upon seeing my ribs did note the assymetry between left rib and right rib, he noted the Right lower ribs have compressed inside significantly compared to the normal left side..and in the lower right ribs there is bruising , redness and dark patches. He told me to consult a orthopedic or general surgeon.
I used to have Migraines since few years, which used to cause anxiety and Muscle tension but I doubt that alone has caused this rib deformity- it could have added to the already injured rib region to get more out of place due to stress.
Is there a solution to my problem doctor , CT scan has not shown anything...but there is structural deformity which causes daily pain and misery. Can those lower right ribs compressed inside by set back in position by using metal plates etc ? Or the only option is to surgical removal of the deformed part?
I fear for my future and life just because of this.
I will really appreciate if you can respond to my email of what you think about my issue and solutions. which kind of specialist should I consult.
Bro I also have same problem
Same here .. suffering form 3 years
Dr Buck I fell a few days ago last week . My back hurts and so does my chest and stomach . Everytime I try to sleep on the side I normally sleep on my side now when I sleep on my side since I fell it hurts . Is this a rib fracture ? I haven’t been to the doctor yet . It also Hurts somewhat when I breathe .is this a rib fracture ? I hear it could just be sore on my side and how long do I take to heal ?
I'd love to hear you address a displaced xypoid (xyphoidectomy), from a high impact sport injury, like windsurfing, martial arts, snowboarding, sky bouncing, ect.
My problem right now. Not really a problem since I know what to do
It’s been 6 weeks since falling off of a horse with ribs antlat 5-7th and postlat 3-7th fractures along with L4-L5 spinous process fractures all with some mild to moderate displacement. I have seen two ERs and three different doctors and a spine specialist. I can feel my ribs move and pinch with what feels like a dull butter knife when I try to lift or move arms overhead. None of the providers in my area seem to care or refuse to treat ribs saying there isn’t any treatment, just time. ?? I’m not done riding horses either! What if I fell again in the future?

Hope u better now,I broke 6 7 weeks ago n still sore
I am 6 months out of being crushed by a horse in a trailer, he panicked, pulled back, and pinned me. I have 4 complete fractures in 2 ribs, they are overlapping and I have floating pieces. I could feel them move when I lifted my arm for months and yesterday was my first time back on the horse. I had to compression wrap my ribs just to tolerate slow walking. He also severely damaged my lung, bruised my kidney, and separated the AC in my shoulder. ER doctor gave me morphine, and anti-nausea meds and told me to go home and prepare to be back in the hospitalized with pneumonia within a week. There was no way I was going back though. I am still constantly gasping for air and no doctor around here knows what to do with me. I feel your frustrations. I hope you find better care than I have.
@@lanatarthur i hope you are feeling better.

Nicky Chanam go see another doctor! And if that doctor puts you on pain meds, find another one. My goodness you certainly can't live like that. Amazing job getting yourself off those meds. Taking pain meds just leads to so many bigger issues. Good luck :) just don't give up!

I have a non union rib fracture do i need surgery?
Hi Dr. Parker, I've had a non-union rib fracture on the first rib for over 7 years now which is very rare. The pains and aches are daily and have not found a doctor with a solution so far. What would you recommend? I have and X-ray I can send as well. Thanks!
I think you need them plated.
there is a society of physicians who treat rib fractures. Check out cwisociety.org/
Craziest thing, i was slightly pushing something up against my chest and ended up fracturing a rib on the left side right above my heart I believe, i heared a slight crack and then all of a sudden the pain rushes to me and it's kinda hard breathing, getting up from bed, leaning, coughing using any muscles on my left side. I would take time off work but... I'm struggling financially so I dont want to. Anyway for me to deal with this while working or at home?
I fell off a ladder framing a house on a Friday
I got some perco’s a bottle of gin, tonic water and a bag of ice.
I started coming to on Sunday and a lot of the pain subsided
I got punched in the rib, i think ita a bruised rib, but while i move around or in bed i feel like something is moving inside, kind of like when you have a muscle not that you move, except this one feels bigger. What could be that feeling? On the front side i sometimes feel like what feels like a liquid buble of something moving inside
6:16 same feeling is it fracture rib?
Hi my name is cyndy . My husband had a car accident on Friday and they told me he has a total of 6 ribs broken. He was just discharged yesterday . But his ribs move he says when ever he moves he feels them dislocating. Should he get surgery for that?
At this time we usually recommend surgery if there are more than 3 in a row displaced rib fractures.
I'm not sure but why ribs are broke and can only take paracetamol
My rib Is in loads of pain plz peas comment
Well not hanging but I’m in hospital for di hi statin becouse it hurts to drink all then did is give me a iv
I know this has nothing to do with this but, is it bad that I can see my ribs through my skin like when I arch my back?
Nah if ur just on the skinnier side
Got tossed a few days ago doing some jiu-jitsu and didn't really feel much pain until after class. It is on my side around the 8th rib and I can sleep on it in any position and it is tender but nothing severely painful. Breathing doesn't hurt at all. After 3 days it is feeling a little better, I have no bruising and can jog, hit the heavy bag etc with minimal pain so I am not sure if it is fractured or just bruised?
Hard to know without X-ray I would just take it easy for a bit and see if it improves
Thank you for the response. I just got done having a X-ray and contract CT scan and they cant see a fracture at all. Exactly 1 week since it happened and I take 600mg of ibuprofen twice a day and don't have really any pain anymore unless I press on the area........ I just wish I knew exactly what it is. @@drbuckparker
hey doc, i was in a crash 3 years ago. and my ribs hit a center control console - which was large unmoving metal box. my ribs hurt right away. i told the ER that is where my pain was. and they said my ribs weren't broken and nothing was done about it. fast forward to today - i have pain every day, i can push on that area and i hear a clicking sound. i have been taking over the counter pain killers - mostly naproxen sodium, nearly every day. i am not the most in shape person but i want to be. i try to take up running. when i run if i breathe deeply the pain intensifies and i have this taste of blood in the back of my throat. then i'll end up being quite sore in that area for days after. so it makes it difficult to stay wanting to continue to run. i would like to get treatment for this but if they cant see the ribs are broken on an x-ray then how can anything be done about it?
I think you need a CT scan to look at the ribs. You may need to have them re-aligned
Buck Parker, M.D. thank you for your reply. I'll talk talk to my doctor about this more.
MothraVsTheWorld Good luck to you and God Bless!
@@drbuckparkeri still pain tender and soreness after three months x ray totally normal no pain in breathing or sneezing but tenderness still three sometimes it aches little bit how long it take to normal
@@piyushkumar-me1nb could be a couple more month or more. If it’s improving I would not do too much.
I have a question can a rib fracture be proven in court if it happens during a assault? My husband got me down on the ground and was punching in my back and sides he got a lawyer and trying to say I fell the report says non displaced posterlateral 7th rib fracture.
So sorry to hear this. I'm not aware of a difference between falling and assault in regards to this type of fracture. I think that would be determined if there was a bruising pattern on the skin.
@@drbuckparker thank you, but I was surprised they was no bruising. They was a slight red mark that could hardly be seen.
I got hit by a SUV while walking
Yeah good luck on pain meds not a liable option can't move can't breathe have copd! In other words I'm toast! So in reality there's nothing you can do!!But hope you live!!!

Seek a medical opinion on surgery or realignment if they deem it neccessary
