Popped a rib...

and OUCH!! Yesterday morning, I was having cereal after I got ready for my 16 week appointment. So, I'm sitting on the couch, and feel the need to cough. Cough cough...POP...omg, seriously the worst pain I have felt in about a year. Anyone else have this happen?

I had back surgery last April for a tumor on my spinal cord. I never thought I would have back pain again that disabled me as much as it did before/after my surgery.

I went to my appt, and told the Doc. She said I popped a rib and to take it easy, but to relax and try to not just be stiff on the couch or in bed. Looked for the baby's heartbeat, and got a belly u/s! Baby was moving around A LOT! I was excited for DH, because this was the first time he had seen baby since s/he was just a bean! :)

    I had four of them popped out at the beginning of December from coughing. I couldn't believe how painful it was.  I went to a chiropractor and he popped them back into place.

    I cracked one during first tri from vomiting.  It was very painful.  I was already miserable and then after I cracked it every time I needed to throw up was even worse because in addition to throwing up (which isn't pleasant!) I had this searing pain that intensified with each heave.  The good news is that it healed after a few weeks, but it was horrible while it lasted.

    THIS HAPPENS????

    I'm starting to realize just how much I'm not being told. So thankful you gals are here!

    Hope you're ok. That sounds awful.
