I had the joy of discovering the cause of my pain the last week is a fractured one.

Not a lot of fun, not much they can do either...

It's actually easier to move around and be active than sit in a chair or sleep in a bed at night.

That's sucks....sorry to hear.

I hate those ailments where even resting / breathing hurts. Hope you're on the mend quickly PF

4-6 weeks, on average.

Nothing quick about this unfortunately. I guess I should be grateful its not something more serious...

Omg! That royally sucks. Sending positive and healing vibes. Maybe some whiskey or tequila might help. I kid kinda sorta.

Yep, actually splintered it where the break ran a few inches instead just snapped straight through. I remember going to the game that Moss made his return in 10 and trying to clap and cheer...a high five about killed me. On the plus side I was given some really good muscle relaxers to help when the pain really flared up. Good luck and try to avoid sneezing, that's a real bitch.

Yeah, and no funny jokes please.

i have done it several times and it is about 4-6 weeks and you finally realize you are doing pretty good.

They don’t wrap you anymore.

That sucks. I did it as a teen and they wrapped me with tape which helped, kind of held you in lol.

Good luck, PF, sounds painful.

Ouch!!!
Never have but those who I've known who did took months to get better. My wife took 1/2 a year for multiple ribs from an accident. The older you get the longer it takes.
Sorry, hope you feel better soon.

They dont wrap anymore, at least not my own doc. They want to make sure you're taking good, deep breaths and avoid pneumonia too.

Appreciate the well wishes all...Just glad it's not anything more sinister..
