Damn. I've broken eight, but I split that into two helpings.

Whatever you do, don't sneeze.
Take my word for it. Sweet Jeebus, DO NOT sneeze.

GET A CAT SCAN FOR BLOOD CLOTS IN LUNGS!!!

My little accident in Eldo 4 years ago I broke 8 ribs, each in 2 places (16 total fractures) in addition to 2 cervical vertebrae cracked, a pneumothorax, and a severe concussion (was knocked out for 30 minutes). I went home after 3 days in the Hospital in Louisville, only to be called back for a CAT scan to check for any blood clots in the lungs. Yep; there were many small clots (life threatening condition), so readmitted to the hospital and out on an anticoagulant regimen. THAT fukking schitt nearly killed me by causing massive internal bleeding after I was again sent home. After the 3rd trip to the hospital, they finally "got it right," but only after sucking 3 liters of fluid outta my chest cavity!

BOTTOM LINE:

GET A CAT SCAN FOR BLOOD CLOTS IN LUNGS!!

BDC is right-get a CAT scan for clots.

I've managed to break my ribs on numerous occasions.
Worst was a digger at Crowders Mtn. in NC. Got all of 'em,and my spine as well. I'm better!

I would suggest trying to lay off the pills and go natural as much as is possible.

Hope you feel better soon!

Ok, I'll throw a lighter into the fire.

Two hints.

1) Yes it happened on the property where I live.

I knew that cats have good eyesight, but I didn't know you could teach them to scan for you.
