I can't get better!

hey guys...I have been sick with a cold/ upper respiratory infection/something since last Monday!

I have been to the doctor twice and nothing is helping. I attempted to go back to work yesterday and as I was leaving I coughed and felt something "pop" in my left side. I was in severe pain and the doctoe seems to think I might have broke or cracked a rib!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ofcourse you really can't do anything about it but I feel like I am about to go crazy. Last night I couldn't even move without help...they will not give me anything for the pain. I have some cough medicine but it has a small amount a codeine in it and I am allergic to it...I even told the doctor this but she said to try it since my allergy is not severe. I am just so upset and I feel like no one cares that I am DYING!!!!

What can I do...I have to get better soon...I can't take it anymore!!!

 

Thats horrible! I wish i had some advice for ya but that one is new to me. Try taking some benadryl to keep the cough down (thats the only thing that helped my cold/cough) and i pray your rib gets better. :hug: Take care of yourself girl!

 

Do you have a vaporizer? We put twice the amount of vapor-stuff in the water and it always helps the coughs.

 

Oh man. I'm sorry that this is all happening and you are in so much pain. :hug: I have no suggestions and have never experienced this but I wanted you to know we care. :grouphug:

 

Oh wow. That sounds so painful. I am sorry and hope you feel better soon. Can you take Tylenol for the pain? Take care of yourself!

 

Poor you... :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
I have no advice to offer you, but do agree with previous post in regards to the vapouriser...it can work a treat. There is nothing worse then rib pain (except maybe labour!). With my first pregnancy my DD dislocated my ribs and they were clicking together for the last few weeks (thanks to her breech presentation and massive head) and I couldn't do anything about it! So I send you all my love and sympathy. Hope you feel better soon.

I am so sorry. I can sense your pain in your post. When I got sick in Nov. I took LOTS of natural vitamin C. I would drink about 4-5 lemons worth of lemon juice with hot water and a heaping tablespoon of honey every night and slept with the cool mist humidifier practically in my face. You might want to try that. I really hope you feel better!

 

Wow, I hope that you get better!!
