Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, I cracked a rib coughing. FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I tore an intercostal muscle in my ribs. Now I can't cover my cough, as I have to cross my arms against my ribcage to stop the pain. FML, FML, F Me All Day Long (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). FML
Today, I had a violent coughing fit while at the store, which caused a lady to think I was choking, grab me from behind and start doing the Heimlich maneuver incorrectly. She broke two of my ribs. FML
Today, I've had a cold for over a week, and I've been coughing so hard, I bruised my ribs. I'm also 8 months pregnant. Guess where my son likes to kick me. FML
Today, at work, I had an accident and cracked a rib. I got taken to hospital where I got checked over. The doctor said it was a good job I hadn't got a chest infection nor a cold. Funny you should say that doc, I have both. She replied, "Well, that's bad…" FML
Today, I have three cracked ribs. I have also, for the first time in my life, developed a case of the hiccups that simply will NOT go away. It's been hours. FML
Today, I have bronchitis. A few days ago, my doc prescribed antibiotics, which are helping, but also cause a really nasty upset stomach. I tell ya, violent coughing fits and severe diarrhea do NOT go well together. FML
Today, I woke up with really sore abs; not from working out at the gym, but because I've been coughing for 3 days straight and nothing is helping. Now every time I cough, it physically hurts. FML
Today, I tripped and fell, damaging my sternum and making it incredibly painful to breathe in or out too much. About ten minutes later, I got the hiccups. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No one fractured ribs from coughing. Did you punch yourself while coughing?

#62- you can fracture a rib from coughing. Google/Bing/Yahoo/Ask it, and it'll say that you can fracture a rib from coughing.

That is tough that is like telling you don't breathe. I can relate had bronchitis before it sucks all you want to do is cough.

That Doctor should have prescribed a medication you could take, like a steroid or antibiotic. To tell you to stop coughing is rude and seems very inappropriate for a doctor. Alas, there is not much we can do about rude doctors or the doctors that don't seem to know why they are doing, maybe switch to a different Doctor? And if not ask him about medications you could take? Feel better OP! :)

I have bronchitis right now too. The doctor gave me a prescription cough suppressant because the coughing was exhausting me. It worked wonders.

Don't feel bad OP. I just got over bronchitis about three weeks ago. When I went into the doctors I explained to them about built up pressure in my eyes and how blood vessels keep popping. His advice? " Stop coughing. Suck it up. Seriously. " He then proceeded to give me meds that I had taken twice before (I had it for quite a few months - very low immune system-) that help for a few weeks, but then I go back to it. Guess who has bronchitis again..
