What would you like to ask?

I have 3 broken ribs. Hurts to breathe, and to cough is unbearable.

I understand from my Dr. They do not place tape around the rib cage anymore. The pain pills are not working; however they maybe working but pain is still unbearable. Anymore suggestions?

    Try keeping still? Also maybe a hot water bottle might sooth it but don't rest it on them as it will add more pressure

    Honest opinion? Smoke a big, fat, joint. Roll it in marshmallow paper for that extra soothing feeling :D

    (this is meant to be taken literal) Not only will this relax you, take your mind off of the majority of the pain, but it will increase your appetite and more prone to taking a nap.

    Don't believe me? Look into Marinol. It is what some call "Medical Marijuana". Although the THC isn't as concentrated in the pill form, it is given to cancer patients to make them feel better during chemotherapy. You be the judge
