Was throwing the football Saturday with my nephew in the pool when I lunged over and hit the coping pretty hard on my left side lower ribs. Hurting like he77 since Sunday. If I sneeze, cough hiccup or belch, OUCH. Waiting a couple of days to see if it improves before going to doc. Anyone experienced this? What will help?

It does suck bad! Broken, bruised, or cracked, hurts to breathe or do anything really. Doc is only going to give you pain meds. Probably not the good ones. Good luck
Smoke on!

Try not to take deep breaths, cough, sneeze or laugh.

Cracked mine once, I was shut down for a week. Couldn't even walk without hurting.

Doesn't take much for a broken rib to puncture a lung and besides the pain, that would be my only concern. Not much they can do for a broken rib except bandage you up tight and give you pain meds.

I broke 7 a few years ago. Actually only 4 but 3 were broke in two places. Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I thought broken rib was a new bbq joint you were gonna tell us about.
run your hand over the painful area, if it is broken you will feel the difference, trust me on this one, the pain will help ya locate it too. time is about the only thing that will fix them,
