Today, my allergies started up with a vengeance. Yesterday I broke 4 ribs and fractured my sternum. Every time I sneeze, I swear I can feel the broken bones move around. FML

It was an ATV "accident". My ex - boyfriend broke up with me on the trail and then purposely spun us around a turn too fast and I was thrown off the back. He still doesn't understand why I didn't find it funny like he did...

Ouch. Ask your doctor if there's anything s/he can do.

Very true. I happened to have a respiratory infection when I broke two of my ribs. Coughing never hurt so badly.

Did the hulk punch you in the chest?

Say "pineapple"! It stops your sneeze, seriously!

To all the downvotes: You've probably never been in brutal agony. OP is hopefully on some strong shit, and if he isn't I advise that he goes to the hospital and gets on some strong painkillers asap.

And pray he doesn't get hooked up on them down the road

It's not too often somebody gets hooked on painkillers. Sure it's not too rare, but that's why they give you a course and evaluate then keep handing you medicine to get dependant on

That's not always possible; I've been in OP's situation before (traumatic car accident yay) and the painkillers that were strong enough interfered with my ability to function at school. I couldn't risk losing my scholarship so I had to power through the pain. I really hope this isn't the case for OP, because it really sucks. Took me over two months to be able to even breathe deeply without experiencing intense pain.

13 - When you are in genuine pain and take the pain meds per MD orders, you will not become addicted to them. It's when you continue to take them after your pain has ceased or when you take a higher dose than is ordered that you become dependent on them.

Talk to your doctor about some anti-histamines or anti-alergy medicine or something to help suppress the alergies, as well as some pain killers, and maybe a stool softener.

I've had broken ribs before. Unfortunately you can only deal with it. Pills dull it, but don't get rid of the pain in its entirety.

I'm sure that's why I asked. Also it was meant as a joke so the OP can say what did happen. Please hop of my balls.

Sounds like you might have wanted to consider pressing charges. Get well soon!

Wow that sounds like an even worst fml than the one you submitted!

Oh ****, I'd probably try to press charges

i know exactly what u mean.. last month i have broken 4 rib bones and right clavicle.. get well soon

...wow; what exactly did you do or happened to you that caused that much damage? Sounds like you took a bull's headbutt to the chest. Definitely look into a cough suppressant and antihistamine that won't react to any pain medication you are taking.

Why a cough suppressant? OP isn't coughing.

She's just said her boyfriend threw her off an ATV.

This is probably the only FML I've seen that made me feel uncomfortable and sympathetic. That ******* sucks, OP. I hope you get something for your pain.
