April 7, 200818 yr Playing Football a couple of weeks ago and got dig in my ribs for my trouble. Rib area and side are really sore and getting worse.Hurt when I cough but breathe OK. Anyone ever had similar injury ? Was gonna go to doctor's but ball ache to call at 8am to make appt and receptionists don't make it easy to get an appt. Was gonna go to local a+e to get it checked out but wondered when quieter times are to see someone or are they busy 24-7. Don't have the time to wait 4 hrs in a+e with all the drunks !!
April 7, 200818 yr I broke a rib playing football several years ago. I had to go and sit with all the other injured Sunday footballers in A&E for about 5 hours. When it was my turn to be seen, they sent me for an X-Ray, looked at it and said "You have a broken rib, we can't do anything, just rest for two months" - and then they sent me home with some painkillers. Having said that, I'm not sure what I expected them to do. You should probably go to get it checked out, incase you have punctured soemthing, but I would imagine you would know if you had by now. By the way it was sore as chuff for about 3 months
April 7, 200818 yr I broke a rib 10 years ago - nowt they can do for you. Still feel it from time to time.
April 7, 200818 yr I'm not an expert, but know a few lads that have injured their ribs through footy or rugby. I believe that broken or bruised, all you can do is rest it - there is no cure as such. As CWP says, I'd get it checked out anyway just in case

April 7, 200818 yr Come here and I'll kick you in the nuts with my stiletto's. You'll soon forget about your ribs.
April 7, 200818 yr Come here and I'll kick you in the nuts with my stiletto's. You'll soon forget about your ribs. I've got ear ache at the minute, will that treatment work for me as well?
April 7, 200818 yr Come here and I'll kick you in the nuts with my stiletto's. You'll soon forget about your ribs. Some folk (mainly Tory MP's) pay for that kind of stuff

April 7, 200818 yr Come here and I'll kick you in the nuts with my stiletto's. You'll soon forget about your ribs. You wear stillys?
April 7, 200818 yr You wear stillys? Occasionally yes! I'm not a tomboy all the time! More to the point, do you?
April 7, 200818 yr Occasionally yes! I'm not a tomboy all the time! More to the point, do you? I think she actually meant to put "steel toe caps" and not "stilletos". Easy mistake to make.

I'm the expert when it comes to injurys. Had most of the minor major ones while playing football, including the rib ones -they are bastards. Hurts when breathing, eating, farting and trying to sleep. Like has already been said there is nothing that can be done for ribs. If you get it checked all you will get is strong pain killers and that's it. My dislocated toe is feeling much better now. Thanks for the get well cards everyone.

If it's really sore, it's the muscle between the ribs, so they say. That would be good news, as they wouldn't be broken.
April 7, 200818 yr aka the intercostal muscles Google is a wonderful thing isn't it Dr Traf Edited April 7, 200818 yr by Underpants
April 7, 200818 yr It is.But I knew what they were called after i damged mine a few years ago. Weren't playing football because I've seen you play you fairy :p
April 7, 200818 yr Get it checked- I once had a punctured lung for several weeks and did nowt- thought it would go away, hurt like fook when breathing, and playing squash- well that was a killer! They took out 1.8 ltr of air, just in time to prevent potential permanent effects.
April 7, 200818 yr Weren't playing football because I've seen you play you fairy :p No, I got smacked in the ribs with a bar stool.
April 7, 200818 yr No, I got smacked in the ribs with a bar stool. Do you still bother with them family do's?
