Sir please tell me what should I do to heal my rib please sir. I injured my sternum and surrounding one rib .It has little tenderness even after 11 Months, it continues to pain on a particular position while doing something, I am 17 years old boy. The injury was little but it not healed It hurts on twisting and on bending neck. I had ignored my injury for 8 months and continued playing. Sir I had played cricket and badminton with my injured ribs. In X- ray a little strain was found in the ribs . Now I am taking rest Sir, in how days my ribs will be completely healed? What should I not do? What should I do? Hope you will answer sir ! Please answer and help me sir😶

@@maxthomas8863 I didn't have any crepitus (I had to google that). 5 months later I'm 95% better. I'm almost 50, so I don't heal like when I was 18. The first 3 days after breaking my rib were INSANE pain. 2 weeks later I was much better. Almost 1.5 months later, I pinched a nerve because I was always hunched over due to the pain. I ended up going to a chiropractor to fix my neck and back. It took 1 month of recovery to fix my neck. Ugh. The only good news is that it WILL get better. Breathing in super deeply (super painful) a few times a day did the trick for me too. Good luck Bro! You'll survive!!!

@@BodyFixExercises, the window was completely down, so I leaned on the top of the door, stuck my upper body out, and reached for the ticket. Stretching out and leaning on the door caused the crack.

Definitely saving this video for the next time someone around me breaks ribs (or in case it's me), because that seems to be a distressingly common injury. The stabilizing of ribs with a pillow while coughing is ingenius! Why don't more doctors recommend or know about that? I can really see that helping, both actually and psychosomatically. Are there specific exercises indicated for regaining motion and flexibility after ribs heal? Aftercare/therapy was particularly lacking for one of my parents, who now sometimes twinges when twisting the wrong way. I hope that your healing and your wife's have progressed smoothly, and that you will get to have a pain-free Christmas!

After how many weeks is it ok to start stretching a bit,as you demonstrated it in the video? I tried to do just a little stretching after 4 weeks and after that, I was in pain again for several days even while resting. Often times I don't feel the pain while moving but only hours after, so that makes it hard to know what is ok to do and what not.

Hit the floor on my side, with my arm tucked up against my side.thus my elbow between the floor and my ribcage. compressing my rib-cage. So damn painful ! X- rays. Nothing broken. Displaced the entire region. Got a low impact adjustment. Now.... 12 days later, still sleeping with a hot- pack - cold pack rotation. Still doing deep breathing exercises. Aka... Smell the roses... 12345. Hold 12345. Blow out the candles 12345. Repeat for 1 - to- 3 minutes 3 to 7 times daily , when sitting up or laying down. Gently moving in all directions (gently. ) Maintaining flexibility Gently going about my day. Reflecting on poor choices. Accepting needed life lessons. Embracing Positive Affirmations of Hope & Healing . I can heal my body via my intent, expectation, and obedience. I've done it all my life.

Never create constriction or tension. I once had a Pneumo-thoracical trauma( from a plane flight) aKa a floating rib pierced my lung (apparently more prevelant with tall, skinny guys). A waterlock was administered. Normal breathing was needed. Gentle movement and free breathing seemed key. I'll never forget when they put the tube in. The Dr. was more concerned about the procedure than me. I told him: do what you need to do, you already gave me local anesthetics; just do it. No surgical pain is comparable to not being able to sleep because of the pain to breath.. Flabbergasted he went for it and thank the gods i don't believe in he did..

Broke 7 ribs and my shoulder blade with a total of 11 fractures 40 days ago in a motorcycle accident. Lucky enough to get pain meds (oxycodon 15mg 2x day) at the hospital. Really helped to take the sharp edges of the pain. Started to use less painkillers from day 15 on and stopped using at day 20 at my own request. Responsible and supervised pain treatment can be a big help in healing. btw, i am from the Netherlands.

Can you explain about the pain scale you are referring to? I have injured ribs, after a fall, 5 days ago, today, and is really trying to deal with the pain, Doctor gave me the best and strongest mix of normal painkillers, to combine, this work well doing the day, but in the morning to get out of bed and moving in bed, I really struggle. It is like here on day 5 that the constant pain is not that strong in the rib, but now trying to lift my right arm really get's me even on painkillers. I keep exercising the lift, and is thinking about trying reclining bed rest for tonight, because sleeping on my back can keep me pain-free, until I try to move, and then the "drama" in the morning to get out. I am asking about the pain scale, because I would like to understand how much I can pressure my exercise in lifting my arm? Thanks for a supervideo.

I found, if you have a good car seat that's electric, that was the most comfortable place to sleep for almost 3 weeks. Getting in and out can be a little painful but it feels almost like a gerny once in and laying back. Put a pillow under your legs too for comfort. Getting out you can use the steering wheel and handle above the window. Sorry can't help with the coughing, that and sneezing are the worse.

I just had 2 rib fractures on my left side with a slight displacement. I don't believe the fractures are in the front and the x-rays and doctor notes said that my lungs were fine. I have no trouble breathing. Really, my biggest complaint is getting in and out of bed. I hope to be healed in 6 weeks. My accident was a real freak accident. I fell and landed on my bowling ball, and like I said, I landed on my left side. Someone said that I should get rid of the ball. But I said, No, that the ball owes me a 300. The doctor told me to get an abdominal binder which I did. I'm not wrapping it too tight, and it does help when I get in and out of bed. This just happened on Saturday. I feel terrible about it. It has interrupted my life. I hope not for too long.
