Broken ribs in Decemeber from coughing
I broke 2 ribs from coughing in December. It was healing fine. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy of my throat last Thursday. Could the air used during the procedures irritated my healing ribs??? The pain is almost unbearable. I am out of town working, so I can not go to my regular doctors, which is what they wanted when I called them. I just need to know if the air used during the procedure could have irritated my healing ribs, or not? I have appointment with surgeon on March 6 about "spots" they found in my breast, but I do not think I can handle the pain until then. I have soaked in tub, used heat, taken Advil and Tylenol as well.
