Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi all, I request advice for treating either severely bruised or cracked ribs. I fell on some pipe and have not been to a clinic for x-rays. This was Wednesday. It's not any better, as i wouldn't expect yet. No visible bruise on skin, but awful sore inside. Sitting down or standing is when the pain is worse. Have been taking 3 Naproxin per day for it. Hot showers seem to help. I know the medical pros can't do too much to help either. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I had cracked ribs once. The Dr. had me wear a velcro wrap around my rib cage for 3 weeks. Just took it off to shower, and to sleep. You really need to go see about it. Magnolia Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones, that let the light in. Life is fun , if we forget we're adults.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Having had that misfortune myself a couple of years ago, I endured the pain for a couple of days hoping it would get less painful to breathe. It was painful with some movements but the breathing made me go and see a doctor just to make sure nothing else was broken, or splintered or whatever could have happened. Have it checked, just to be on the safe side. For the rest I'd suggest take it easy, accommodate yourself as to minimise aggravating the internal bruises. My guess is that getting comfortable with sleeping is not easy either? It will get better but I remember it took close to 2 months before I realised it wasn't painful anymore. Won't forget that fall that's for sure. Hanneke At 12:30 PM 28/02/2009, you wrote: >Hi all, I request advice for treating either severely bruised or >cracked ribs.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 You could try rubbing some DMSO on the site for the pain and inflammation.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks to all that replied! I wish I has some DMSO to try. I'll see what it feels like come Monday. I may need to seek pro help, as bad as I dislike resorting to it. A wrap may be a good idea! Again, Thank YOU all! --- On Fri, 2/27/09, Susan Siegel <ssiegel5 wrote: Susan Siegel <ssiegel5Re: Bruised or Cracked ribs Date: Friday, February 27, 2009, 7:31 PM You could try rubbing some DMSO on the site for the pain and inflammation.Susan Siegel On Feb 27, 2009, at 9:00 PM, electraglide003 wrote:> Hi all, I request advice for treating either severely bruised or> cracked ribs.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 MSM is a carrier and will help carry any vitamins into you system. It has been used on horse race tracks to help heal up sprains and strains by wrapping a leg wrap around a horses leg and saturating the wrap with MSM. I have also heard that It is one of the rare minerals that will penetrate skin and by mashing up aspirin and mixing it with MSM you can saturate gauze with the mix and placing it right over the bruised or damaged part and the MSM will carry the aspirin directly into to the hurt area and stop the pain without having to go through your system.
