I'm gonna have to go to the doc again soon for follow up and will demand better meds then.
The worst part is trying to move... takes several minutes to go from sitting to standing because after every slight movement it takes 30 seconds or so to get my chest muscles to relax enough to inhale.....
Doc said what he thinks I did (besides cracking the ribs) is tear the muscles that hold them together... since the natural response to any attack on the abdomen is to tense up to protect the internal organs, the slightest twitch sets of a lightening fast chain reaction where the muscles contract causing more pain and a tighter contraction and more pain etc..... I AM getting a little better at controlling it tho and as soon as I can relax, 90% of the pain instantly goes away....
If I could just stop the spasms I would drop to single digits on the whineybaby'o'ometer
