Take Ibuprofren (600-800mg at a time) and you can alternate heat and cold presses on it. The cold for inflamation, the heat to stimulate blood flow and healing.

yes...it is killer pain when i first lay down and when i move to either side
also if i sit up fast...wow...lets just say im sitting up by using my arms now.
yes someone else suggested to keep working out when i can.
also wrapping the ribs to not let them move as much.
i sneezed the other day as well..and wow..that was an experience..lol
thanks ill try the cold and heat therapy for sure
