Brusiing my ribs while coughing

I was diagnosed with cough variant asthma in April 2013. I had COVID in December 2019. I coughed so hard that I felt when I injured my ribs. I still feel my injured ribs when I start to cough. I've had pain shots in 2023 and early 2024. It gets better but it has not totally gone away.

  1. - that sounds painful. Thinking about it, there is not much to do for bruised ribs other than ice/heat packs, NSAIDs, and allowing time to heal, right? It has been years in your case. Glad to hear it is better. It's just going to take more time, which I am sure has been longer than you'd hoped. Rebecca (team member)
