So I took a spill two weeks ago (not sure if I posted about it) and messed up my ribs a bit. I didn't go to the doctor, but they're still hurting quite a bit. In fact, today they feel worse than they have in days. Think I should take time off work to go to the doctor? There's not much they can do for ribs anyway, but this is getting annoying (and maybe it's also paranoia/hypochondria). I can't remember how long it took for them to heal to the point of not being a constant annoyance the last time.

Darkmother/cavernmech: I know you've both had your share of rib injuries.. any advice? (or anyone else, for that matter)

ps. goddamnit if I haven't been regularly sneezing since I hurt myself. I rarely sneeze and it *really* hurts with injured ribs.
