I think I pulled a muscle from coughing sooo much. It's right at the bottom of my rib cage at it's been bothering me for about a week. Does anyone know how I could maybe make the pain go away?

if it's been a week, you might want to see a doctor. Usually a pulled muscle goes "away" after a day or two, maybe three.

If its been that long, you might have done something more like bruise a rib, or even slightly fracture one. Definitely see a doctor if its still bothering you.

I've pulled muscles in my ribs a number of times. Moving all my belongings, football, and (don't laugh) golf have caused it. But, it usually goes away after 3-4 days. If it's still sore, take Spydir's advice and go see a doctor. If you can't get to a doctor, try to avoid deep breathing, twisting, using your torso to lift, and sex (or at least sex where you have to move). All those things will aggrivate the condition.

Oh, and try the Advil / Tylenol rotation trick. Take 2 Advil. Wait 2 hours. Take 2 Tylenol. Wait 2 hours, and the advil have worn off. Repeat.

I've been reading up on the net about it, and I think I have a bruised rib from coughing so much. I have been coughing for about 3 weeks straight now, so I believe thats the problem.

heheh. nice.
i just got back from the Weezer concert, WHICH ABSOLUTLY R0X0RED! more on that latter.

my stomach hurts from jumping the guard rail and going down to the floor to participate in the mini-mosh pit.

quite fun.

Was it advertised as Weezer or Goat Punishment? They use the latter to do less crowded shows.

Weezer rocks. You know the lead singer had only 2 semeters at harvard to go, but he wanted to focus on rocking.

Anthrax will do that to you.

Got a bit of anthrax the other day... took some panadol for it and i was fine. cleared up in a few hours.

i used to get pains in my chest a year or so back a LOT. went to the doctor and she said it was just where the muscles get trapped between the ribs and snag when you breath.

too much crouching over the pc i guess

Be careful you might have cracked a rib. A guy at my work had a massive chronic cough for about 2 months and he finally cracked one.
