I've separated my ribs coughing several times. The only thing that helped was a heating pad (I can't do cold, it hurts too much) and pillow. I sleep in my lift chair recliner all the time anyways. AND slow simple stretching (raising arms over my head) helped with preventing getting stove up and breathing). You never realize how much you cough or laugh UNTIL you've got injured ribs.... 😫

I don't get the whole cold packs, that only works for surgery inflammation not for internal inflammation. For me it just sounds like a 1000% Guarantee to obtain a Possible Pneumonia due to the severe cooling of your Critical Organs your Ribs protect, and how the Body will react to that External cooling. Arnica and like creams that produce cooling effects might be a better solution as they are nerve stimulants rather than actual cold inducing Packs.

Thank you so very very much for this informative video. My ortho doctor doesn’t tell me much of anything. Sleeping can be torture. I figured out on my own to prop myself up with pillows. Thank you for the ideas on the grab bar, ladder and wedge pillow! I could never get up out of bed without wincing in pain. I have a dizziness issue where I fall down often and have broken my ribs on both left and right sides several times. Along with falling off a step ladder and literally crushing 8 of my ribs as a 1x1x1 metal pole with through my left side and punctured my lung. I have never been in so much pain in my life. Was in hospital for 10 days! Last week, I was physically attacked/assaulted and body slammed to the ground, once again breaking and bruising my right upper ribs/cartilage under middle of my breast. And I have breast implants so makes it even worse with the added weight as well as trying to ‘hold my ribs’ to make them feel better or put heating pad on to get to right area. A couple of questions, I was always told by my orthopedic doctor to use heating pad (not cold pad). I noticed you said use a cold pad for inflammation. However the thought of using cold seems like it would hurt even worse (at least that initial shock). What are your thoughts on that? Maybe alternate hot and cold? The heat feels good to me but maybe I am making it worse (??) I am taking an anti-inflammatory. Getting pain pills these days is tough. Sad for those of us suffering in pain. He told me to just take Advil or Tylenol until I balked at him and begged for something stronger due to the severe pain I am in. I also later called in for a muscle relaxer as I was having painful sporadic spasms but hate taking them as they make me sleepy. If doctors are aware of how painful rib fractures are, why don’t they at least prescribe 3-5 days worth of prescription pain meds instead of letting us suffer? My other question is, why do you think my ortho doctor never sees my broken bones on the X-Ray? I am 55 year old female with a family history of osteoporosis. Every time I break a rib or other bones (both wrists, shoulder, foot) for that matter. He never ‘sees’ it on the on the X-rays initially. Then when the pain persists and I insist on an MRI weeks later, the broken ribs (or other bones I have broken) show up as in fact broken. Then my doctor ‘craw-fishes’ on why he didn’t see it to begin with on the x-ray initially. He goes back to x-rays and then magically finally sees it! It is really frustrating because I will be in pain for weeks with nothing more than Tylenol before he will at least maybe give me 10-15 Tylenol 3. Which helps some but it still hurts at pain level 7-9 out of 10. I think the medical community has gone too far the opposite way when it comes to prescribing prescription pain medication for people truly in pain after things like a sudden rib fracture. Even if the physician only prescribes enough for a short duration to get the patent past the initial 48-72 hours. Is anyone in the medical community looking at this? Thank you again for this video! I will check out your others!!

I figured out most if the items you recommended on my own and have been able to sleep. I would like to recommend adult diapers especially if you have to get up frequently at night to urinate. The protection adds a level of comfort so you can get up without having to rush to the toilet and have an accident. Also put a waterproof pad underneath you in your bed or chair. Better safe than sorry. Thank you for a great video. Now just to get through the next couple of months until i can get back to my former level of activity.

Dang, I so wish this was available when I first broke 6 posterior ribs. Every ER doctor needs to be giving a link to this video to their rib fracture patients. I'm now at 8 months post-injury and still not healed, and I honestly think a lot of the delay was from extra injury I incurred trying to get in and out of bed in the beginning. Thank you so much for your insights. Just one added thought: Compression vests / shirts AFTER the first 3-4 weeks, when pain is gone from deep breathing, may help reduce the amount of cracking / popping / rebreaking and could shorten recovery time. I didn't discover this until 7 months post injury.

That happens September 2, 2022 is now March 16. I think I’m finally able to fully breath a full breath on left side but my left ribs still feels like it’s jutting out, disfigured, “hiked up” And floating versus being attached like it was. I’m so upset with Prosecutors Office that a neighbors friend ( Assaulter& batterer) is just going to walk away Kfree After he knocked me unconscious and I thought he was gonna kill me. It’s just mine boggling. My facial scar will remind me of him every single day as well as my crushed knee and ribs! Perhaps I should’ve gone to dental school and become local dentist, huh.

Ok im a bit upset here..I was on my bike and hit a curb and did a 360 in the air and came down flat on my back (actually a little to the right) and sustained 2 rib fractures. Extremely painful and I found that sleeping in a slightly reclined position was tolerable (with pain meds). However I take issue with the "out of fasion" statement about rib compression materials. I located mine and tried it and found immediate relief..I can walk better, and move a little better with less pain. I also have NO issue with breathing in deeper than if I wasnt wearing one at all!. The idea that it will reduce your breathing seems to me to be a regurgitated generality...was this recommendation because of elderly people who had issues breathing in the first place?..Im 62 but extremely active and lift weights regularly, and have no issues with my breathing. In fact your recommendation about using a pillow for a little compression on the side of the rib thats injured is the same modality as using a compression bandage. I think this is unfortunately a general rule to more supports people who are already compromised, not healthy people. Obviously I am not going to wear it on a regular basis but will switch between wearing it and not. Everything else in your video was spot on, and obviously you have dealt with people who have had this kind of injury.

I am 65. I fell a few weeks ago and fractured my no.7 rib on my left side. I didn't think it was anything serious because no bruise. But pain would not go away with Brufen etc. Since then I have had an x-ray and they found the fracture. I have been in some bad pain, following doc's orders not to move too much but was not given any specifics like how to sleep, positions etc. I did use ice for a few days but stopped. I am still experiencing pain and will start using ice packs again. I ordered the reclining pillow you linked too. It will get here in a few weeks. I live overseas. I also started taking collagen to help the healing. Is that a good idea? I play golf three to four times a week and haven't been able to play since my injury. Obviously swinging a club is not a good idea I suppose. Due to my lack of walking I am putting on a few pounds that do me no good. Is walking a good idea?

Man I wish I had seen this a decade ago. Fractured at least 4 to 6 ribs..... it sucked. Surprisingly the most comfortable thing I had for during the day was my custom corset, it isnt tight but it hugs nicely and gave me a lot of relief especially as I was performing in an opera in a theatre for a month. Dancing singing.... it hurt sooooo much but I couldn't drop out. Where can I get a wedge from?

I broke 4 ribs last week from a nasty fall. Sleeping is almost imposible. Even laying down is hard. Whats the Best way to get in bed without feeling pain ?

Unfortunately, doing anything without pain this soon after rib fractures might be close to impossible. It is possible to reduce the discomfort by avoiding twisting, applying some gentle compression against the ribs with a soft pillow or folded towel/blanket, and moving slowly/smooth as much as possible. Sometimes reducing bed friction (satin sheets) can make movement easier and less painful. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Got tossed a few days ago doing some jiu-jitsu and didn't really feel much pain until after class. It is on my side around the 8th rib and I can sleep on it and actually in any position and it is tender but nothing severely painful. After 3 days it is feeling better, I have no bruising and can jog, hit the heavy bag etc with minimal pain so I am not sure if it is fractured or just bruised?

Hi thank you so much for this video! I wanted to ask if this applies to broken rib cartilage as well. I am told I have slipping rib syndrome and that my cartilage has completely separated. I have been really struggling with pain tightness, and spasms. Any guidance is truly appreciated.

Yes! It should help. That’s a very painful condition! 😣

@@EquipMeOT thank you so much!! Yes, it’s absolutely awful. I am still trying to figure out what to do for it. I was told surgery, but I’m not super confident about that.
