Three days ago I broke a rib in a couple of places on the left side. This same rib was broken years ago when a friend turned loose of a 17 hand mare who crushed me into a 4"x 4" post. There is nothing a doctor will do, short of sending me for x-rays ($) and giving me pain pills, so I am toughing it out. Today, the muscle below my my left knee was aching and swelling. It was probably from getting between two battling does yesterday, but I sure don't remember getting hit that hard. I put a compression wrap on it, and the swelling is going down, but good golly Miss Molly, I am ready for all this pain to go away. Inhale (ouch,) exhale (ouch,) bend over (ouch,) walk (ouch,) well you get the idea.

You will certainly be in our prayers for a speedy healing. Would it help to wrap your chest area to minimize movement or at least make you a little more comfortable? My sister in law was pregnant with twins and one of them kicked her ribs and broke two of them - the only thing the doc could do was wrap her chest snugly until it healed. Just a thought.

Prayers that your pain diminishes and the swelling decreases quickly for you. :prayer:

Prayers coming your way from Ohio Nicollett.

Take care,

Thank you both. I have tried wrapping, but the rib that I broke, is just under the under wirepart of my bra, and I don't know how to wrap this particular area.

Amy Goatress · « **Reply #4 on:** March 29, 2005, 03:28:44 AM »

You are welcome Nicollett. Hope it heals nicely and easy.

Ouch! Prayers will be said for you. Please be very careful with the broken rib. We don't want a punctured lung, too. I know it is hard to take it easy with all your goat babies to care for, but try your best.

Nicollett, I did a search on some of my medical sites and doctors no longer recommend wrapping cracked or broken ribs for fear that inhibiting deep breathing will cause pneumonia to set in. You certainly don't want that - so don't wrap.

Do you have any Vicodin to take the edge off?
If not, you may want to get some Valerian Root from health store. It is helpful as a sedative/muscle relaxer.

Ouch! Bless your heart I know that has to hurt terrible. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Do you have anything for the pain?

GoatTalker · « **Reply #8 on:** March 29, 2005, 04:08:32 AM »

Thank you all. Valerian root, well I think I bought that for a goat once, I'll have to see if I can find it. Vicodin-gosh I wish!

Nic, sorry to hear that you are not feeling up to par. I hope that you get some rest, that will help the healing. Don't over do. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. :prayer:

Sinorejas · « **Reply #15 on:** March 29, 2005, 02:32:39 PM »

OUCH!! Oh, poor Nic!!!! That has to hurt like a bear, especially the rib. Think it might be worth seeing the doctor just for the pain meds??

Damn Nic, you are just falling apart, you need to get someone to help you out around there. Sheesh.
I didn't see this post until now, I didn't know you posted. I'm sorry. You will continue to be in my prayers.

Everyone, don't call Nic and make her laugh, it makes her MEAN! (j/k)

GoatTalker · « **Reply #19 on:** March 30, 2005, 05:02:44 PM »

You little stinker!! You made me laugh again! Thanks for the prayers, I think it may be time for the doctor and drugs, I guess I am just not as tough as I used to be.

Jamie · « **Reply #20 on:** March 30, 2005, 05:13:25 PM »

Thank you Debi, every day is getting a little bit easier.

Steph9702 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 05, 2005, 12:19:53 PM »

Nic, did you ever go to the doctor? Wishing you well!

Jamie · « **Reply #26 on:** April 05, 2005, 02:33:00 PM »

Probably not. She won't go to the doctor unless it has something to do with a hoof, horn or udder.....on the goats of course.

GoatTalker · « **Reply #27 on:** April 05, 2005, 10:52:42 PM »

No Stephanie, they don't do anything for broken ribs any more, just drugs.

JAMIE!! Now you made me go and LAUGH again!

michiganellymay · « **Reply #28 on:** April 06, 2005, 02:59:53 AM »

I always figure laughter to be a good medicine - except in a case such as yours, Nicollett. Here's hoping each day makes a marked improvement in the healing and decrease in pains. I have never had broken ribs, can only imagine laughing and sneezing - big ouch!

GoatTalker · « **Reply #29 on:** April 06, 2005, 05:12:03 AM »

Thank you Trisha, it is getting better each day. Gosh, I can even breath now without pain. Thank you God! Just a few weeks, and everything will be good as new.
