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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 cracked a rib coughing. FML

Today, my hiccups got so intense that I threw up in the middle of class. 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, after battling for hours to get just a little sleep before my early morning work shift, I finally began drifting off. Then I got the worst attack of hiccups in my life. 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, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. FML

Damaging? Sounds like a doctors visit is in order. Ever heard of a cracked diaphragm? Yeah I can only imagine the pain you're feeling.

I guess your boobs didn't cushion the fall much.

Ouch, OP. My husband fell and fractured seven ribs about a month ago. Hiccups, sneezing and coughing are the worst. I hope you feel better soon!

Well, when I had that problem, I didn't have a fractured sternum but a case of collapsed lung.. Couldn't breathe in or out. Better go see a doctor!

The only way to trip and fall and damage your sternum is if you fall directly on it or your ribs. What were your arms doing while you were falling?
