Cracked rib?

Cracked rib would make you cry like a baby. The pain is extremely bad, if you had a cracked rib you would know it because you wouldn't be moving around.

No shit. I cracked a rib playing football when I was 14. I cried like a little bitch, after about 2 minutes of trying to catch my breath.

Mebbe you just put it out of place when you were coughing. I've done that. I went to my chiropractor and he put it back in place, and voila, pain gone.

Def not that bad, but it hurts constantly day and night for the last 5 days.

That's more what I feel. Should I call the doc? Or do I just need time to heal?

you need to go to the doc and get that checked, could be a pretty bad infection in there too

This is one of those questions that has an automatic yes.

Should I go to the doctor? Yes.

Is it broken? Maybe, or maybe not. Probably strained or bruised. Definitely possible. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Constant pain is certainly a reason to go to a medical professional. What helps... take an ACE bandage and tightly wrap your rib cage slightly above and below where it hurts.

Heal well and feel better!!
