Broken ribs still hurt like a bitch! Thank God for Percocet

Be careful not to get addicted to pain pills. Happened to my mom. She is a mess. :sad7:

Droptop,
As long as you take them on schedule or less frequently you should have nothing to worry about. Did the Doc give you an anti-inflammatory for when the pain is not so severe?

Yes, I have less strong drugs. The main problem is that you have to dull the pain enough to allow you to cough or you risk developing pneumonia. I've broken ribs before. The worst is over in a couple of weeks. I know the risks and I appreciate everyone's concern. Just don't make me laugh!
