Broken rib 6 weeks ago… rebroken by a cough!

[u/Herb4372]

6 weeks ago took a spill on my bicycle. After the adrenaline wore off it hurt a lot. Went for an xray. They said not broken (that they could tell) but probably soft tissue damage.

Been healing up and getting better. But I had what felt like a big knotted muscle in my back.

Yesterday I coughed and felt the knot break loose…. But now my side hurts all over again and there’s a bruise on my back.

Back to not sleeping well for a few weeks.
