Ribs

Before I went out to the car to grab my laptop because I accidentally left it in the car. In my panic thinking I had lost my laptop I wrenched the door open suddenly and almost launched myself into the car seat to look for my laptop. In doing so the car door bounced on its hinges and slammed into my ribs pinning me to the door frame. Walking hurts, breathing hurts, don't ask me to bend over because that makes my vision go cloudy and I break out in a cold profuse sweat. Before the pain spread through my chest even after taking painkillers. If it gets any worse imma go to A&E.

Wonder if I can find something stronger than ibuprofen over the counter for now.

That sounds so painful. I hope you will feel better soon. I hope something will help you get better that you have to take.

Oops I unliked your comment now liked again. It is 131am and I am awake again laying on the side thats worse sort of helps with the breathing and pain I guess supporting the injury would help. Thankyou for your well wishes :3

Just take care of yourself. I am glad you liked it again. Maybe you are tired and when we are nervous or tired we make mistakes and you corrected your mistake.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good at all. Having broken my ribs twice before, I can really empathize with the pain you are going through. The first time I broke my ribs, I struggled to breathe 24/7 for about 6 weeks. I had to sleep sitting in a chair because it hurt so bad to lay down (and plus I couldn't breathe when I laid down).
I really hope you are okay. I would never want you to go through the pain and suffering I went through when I broke my ribs.
Please give me an update when you can, I'm seeing this discussion a few days after you posted it.

@Fa_Maverick My ribs were pushing up against my spleen and my left lung, which is what caused me so much pain.
How you feeling now?

I can lay on the injured side (go figure) but if I lay on my back or right side I get chest pains -_- have a bit of bruising too.
