Anyone ever break a rib?

Recommended Posts

On a different note, I was seriously surprised at how easy ribs break. "POP", broken ribB|. I on occasion perform CPR at work and had heard "if ya aint breakin ribs, ya aint doin it right". I WILL say that if a firefighter initiates CPR, there aint much left for me to break:P

Any thoughts? Would a busted rib hurt in my back?



Yup, if that's where the break is... I broke two at the same time, and when I would inhale or exhale, you could hear the bone 'grinding', I believe this is called crepitus in medical terms.(sp?)

If I rolled over in bed, I could actually feel the ribs moving around. Hurt like hell to laugh; a cough was even worse. Didn't get a good night's sleep for two weeks, even with the pain killers.

No wrapping or taping though.

Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
