It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Dude,
If you were 20, you'd be over it in 3-5 days. At your age, 3-5 weeks. Advil helps but overuse it........your liver won't like it.
Better stick with fishing. You're less likely to come home beaten up.

Yep is sucks. Took me a couple months and sleeping was an agonizing struggle,especially rolling over. Got my cracked ribs whilst drunken boxing with a friend (failed to tell me he was former golden gloves) after a fifth and a pay per view match. Don't believe the hype.

Nix the chest bands. They lead to pneumonia. We haven't wrapped broken ribs in the ER for at least 15 years 'cause of that.
I'd recommend a script for vicodin, or crack.
Hey Capt Keith, where do u work?

I hereby withdraw my suggestion of using a chest band in light of the medical update from he who catches chum from decks. Maybe it's been 15 years since I needed one.

Vicodin is for pussies and people over 80, if you need a script at least get oxycodone.

Someone I kow recently had to spend 2 days at the hospital to get off of the fentanyl patch they were prescribed for chronic pain. My go to pain meds are 800 - 1200 mg of ibuprofen when something hurts bad enough.

Sol,
Better hope you don't catch a cold or choke on the fish whistle and start coughing. I broke two ribs and my collar bone years ago playing ice hockey .Then caught a bad cold and I tell you what every time I coughed it felt like someone was kicking me in the ribs.

Healing time can take longer if you tore any intercostal (rib) cartilage or muscle.

Two cracked ribs on my lower left back in high school...played six football games with 'em...not fun for one single minute, but it would have been less fun to watch.
They didn't even come close to healing until about 8 weeks after the season ended...but they did heal, and no ill effects since then.
Fish on...
Todd

I have broken, bruised or cracked every rib back when I was racing motocross (I crashed alot). It's no fun, and the best way to heal is to just take it easy for a few weeks.
It hurts, it sucks and there is little you can do for it. Coughing hurts, sneezing will put you to your knees. Just dont over medicate for the pain, sometimes you just have to bear down and get thru it.

wow...and my girlfreind is complaining about being 8 months prego and not being able to sleep on her stomach...hope you heal quick...c The Photo Contest got me thinking a bit...hard to think...hahaha... anyway... the one of Abu's little jack was a prime example of what got me thinking...does anyone else out there have some crazy pics...we showed everyone this pic that was taken on a cell phone...  we told a bunch of people that it was a huge steelie that my boyfriend caught, and to guess the weight...in all reality it is a tiny little trout that my friend who was fishing with my boyfriend, was holding the fish up to take a pic of a fish, to prove to his wife that he did indeed go fishing that day...it was pure luck that tony was in the background...but if you look really close you can see the stringer....great pic for the cell phone...looks like a massive fish...we love this pic...its too funny...c So you have a boyfriend and a pregnant girlfriend....hahaha. The Merg lives...hahaha
