Please Don't Sneeze!

a reply to: Skid Mark

Thanks for asking, been in avoidance mode when it comes to that thread. Lots of great replies, and I have felt awful for not responding right away so I keep avoiding. Shame on me right?

a reply to: Skid Mark

Jeez Skid,

Take care of yourself dude.

Get yourself warm and comfy.



Be Well.

Hey, I recommended this because my mother and grandmother are both Hungarian, they used it on me when I was sick. And it works for me when I have chest congestion and muscle pain.

a reply to: calstorm
Well there are so many suggestions. I can see how it would be overwhelming trying to sift through them all. I think it's understandable. You'll get to it when you're ready. Be well.

Thanks. I intend to be warm and comfy lol.

I hope that sneezing bout didn't leave any SkidMarks!

Sorry couldn't resist.

You might try to lie down on the opposite side of the pain and try some loosening exercises; I found it helped me when I get those pains from sneezing or coughing

Ahahahaha!

Sorry Skid! I do hope you get checked out soon and start the healing process.

a reply to: TheConstruKctionofLight
Thankfully I haven't sharted. I don't need that to top it off lol.

That was pretty funny lol. Thanks. I think if I could actually go a couple nights without having to do something I might mend. Monkey heads will fly out of my butt before that happens though.

You're suffering from a disease called O.L.D.

Sorry, there's no cure.

I'll refrain from making jokes. It probably hurts to laugh.

a reply to: CranialSponge
Yeah. As messed up as this carnival ride called life is, I don't want it to end just yet. I'll just keep getting older.

a reply to: skunkape23
Thank you. Yes it does. Laughter is the best medicine but it hurts sometimes lol.

I've busted more ribs than I can count on one hand...boxing and martial arts. It really sucks when you find the humor in laughter causing pain and it makes you laugh even harder.

I strain an intercostal or two every time I'm sick. It can hurt REALLY badly. Could be a rib itself as others have said too, though. Amazing to think a sneeze or cough can hurt you that badly, but it can. Indeed, getting older sucks, but it can really happen at any age. I cracked a rib when I had pneumonia as a teenager!

Hope you feel better very soon and that nothing more ominous is going on. Do get checked out definitively. I knew someone who was walking around with a minor pneumothorax for weeks and never even knew it.

Peace.

lol!

You sure it's the rib itself? I'm just wondering if you may have a hernia,because hernias can cause a lot of discomfort and pain.

I love to sneeze,it's one of my personal "perks" of being alive. I envy the heck out of my husband,he gets these sneezing fits that lasts for about 10 minutes at a time. Man,to have a problem like that Always wish i could trade places with him at such a time.

Was just thinking,is it perhaps a muscle you strained,if not hernia. Apply horse liniment to the area and see if it helps,i would suggest.

a reply to: Raxoxane
I'm not sure if it's a strained muscle or rib. It hurts right where the right lower ribs are.

a reply to: Skid Mark

Ya without an x-ray it'll propably not be possible to tell. Do invest in a tube/bottle of good quality horse liniment though,it works better than the muscle gels for human use,well that's what i found anyway. Hope you feel better soon
