Am trying to decide whether to cancel my holiday. Supposed to be going on Saturday. Broke my rib 2 weeks ago tomorrow and it is still agony. The thought of travelling, sleeping in strange bed etc is not appealing at the moment. However the Doc said it should start to feel better after 2 weeks.

On sunday for eg it felt broadly ok

Yesterday and today agony (with voltarol, am painkillered to the max)

My dh and my dad have both broken ribs (don't ask) recently and it took 6 weeks for them to get back to normal. Think after a few weeks it got more bearable...

coughing believe it not

Thats so odd my Mum broke her rib coughing about two and a half weeks ago she is feeling much better now and only feels sore at night when she is trying to sleep.
My cousin also broke her rib three weeks ago-coughing again!.She was a week away from giving birth!!!!!!She managed to have thet baby without the need for a c-section.Thought they may have to do one as she couldn't push.
They are both feeling fine now only probs at night.
Hope it starts to feel much better soon.
