I either pulled a muscle in my side, or I bruised my ribs, or something...
anyhow, didn't know who else to ask (except my ex, but I would rather endure the pain!!) but do you think wrapping my self with an ace bandage will help???

Sorry, I know it has nothing to do with anything...

Alternate.. cold pak.. and heating pad.. cold.. heat..

try a nice hot shower.. and some muscle rub stuff like Tiger Balm or A5-35 or something that gives off heat.

take care.

ok..don't laugh...cause I'm really not sure...but I think it happened while I was preparing the turkey ( 23 lbs) that's all I can think of.
It hurts to breathe and it hurts to be sitting. It hurts clear to my back...

kind of a dull pain I guess, but it's constant and it is sharp pain only when I take a deep breath. Helps to hold my hand on my side, on the ribs, and standing helps too...
I need to do something, I am a childcare provider, and lift 12 kids all day long!

I think I'm gonna do the shower, and the alternating of hot and cold, and rub some smelly stuff on it and have a glass of wine.

I broke 8 ribs at the same time as a result of an impact once, I actually do have an idea.
I did not realize you lifted kids all day long.
Compression and time is what it took for me. I not into painkillers. Sorry if I offended anybody.

I don't want to scare you but "hurts when I breathe" may be cause for concern. I had a similar pain and it turned out to be a blood clot in my lung. I was shocked. It taught me not to take this kind of pain lightly. Good luck and I hope you feel better!

You may have strained a chest muscle, I had a cold where I coughed for weeks and started having pain on one side, it can hurt like heck when you breathe or move a certain way.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
