    Broken rib - bejesus is this like the worst fracture possible or what?

    Skiiing accident - fucked up condyle of the mandible, broken crown and its root, and broken 2nd rib.

    I can live with only opening my mouth a few centimeters and eating liquidy things for a few weeks

    The broken tooth root is about half way into the crown post, so possible to repair the crown with another one.

    But holy bejebus, a broken rib is like the ultimate in pain. Deep breaths? forget it. Lift anything forget it. Sleeping - imposs to forget but shoots you awake when you roll over. Cough - agony. Sneeze - holy mother, it's like getting hit in the chest with a high speed train. And what's worse is it's gonna be like this for over 2 months

    Anyone ever had the misfortune to have the same?

          I bruised a rib on the edge of a couch 2 months ago when i was drunk. Didn't feel anything that night but woke up in pain and it got worse and worse every day. I think it lasted 2 weeks or so. Deep breaths like you said, moving, doing things with my arm etc it all hurt like fuck. It was really bad and it wasn't even broken.

              busted ribs are nothing....

              wait till you break your clavacal in a few spots...

              it's easier for me to name bones I have not broken ( I stunt motorcycles) and I can say the colorbone is the worst pain ever known to man for me...

              ribs are nothing... long as you don't breath too deep and cough your fine...

                                  I've fractured the collar bone before and I swear that bitch of a nurse/sister was enjoying it putting the strapping on - knee in the back forcing my shoulders back while doing a figure of eight thing with a bandage. An I was only 8years old, but the memory of the agony still lives on like it was yesterday

                                  Still, I think this is worse second rib if that makes it any more painful and me less of a wuss

It definitely sucks bad and sounds like a similar experience to the symptoms you describe. Be grateful you didnt pop a lung with one of those broken ribs.

                                                                                  as far as the surgery thing, best of luck, hope it heals correctly. mine was a lower rib, they just said i couldn't move for 2 months or do anything contact wise.

                                                                                                      I can live with only opening my mouth a few centimeters and eating liquidy things for a few weeks

                                                                                                      The broken tooth root is about half way into the crown post, so possible to repair the crown with another one.

                                                                                                      But holy bejebus, a broken rib is like the ultimate in pain. Deep breaths? forget it. Lift anything forget it. Sleeping - imposs to forget but shoots you awake when you roll over. Cough - agony. Sneeze - holy mother, it's like getting hit in the chest with a high speed train. And what's worse is it's gonna be like this for over 2 months

                                                                                                      Anyone ever had the misfortune to have the same?

Didn't feel anything that night but woke up in pain and it got worse and worse every day. I think it lasted 2 weeks or so. Deep breaths like you said, moving, doing things with my arm etc it all hurt like fuck. It was really bad and it wasn't even broken.

Was drunk as fuck, slipped and fell on a table, bruising his ribs. Sad thing is he was moving into a new house so that week I had to do double the work lifting shit.

I knew I was going to sneeze this morning and tried really hard to discharge the waiting time bomb with the odd 'achum' out lout, trying hard to stifle the urge, then it just burst out - no "ay" but a lot of "chum". Oh man, the pain. Coughing I can deal with as I can control it, but the sneeze is an absolute bastard chess bomb send from hell
