Today, I sprained my sternum in my rugby match. I now can't yell, laugh, cough, inhale or exhale fully, or sneeze without a sharp pain shooting through my chest. I have a pollen allergy, and sneeze every 5 or 10 minutes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that the cause of the recent pain in my chest was that I had a torn muscle. What caused this? I sneezed. 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 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
Today, I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. Now my back is in agonizing pain, and I can barely walk. FML
Today, I cracked a rib coughing. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard that I re-dislocated my shoulder. FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, I got whiplash from sneezing. FML
Today, I suffered an uncontrollable sneezing attack. I have the runs. It wasn't exactly as bad as I'd have expected. Just a lot worse. FML
Today, due to my allergies I can't stop sneezing. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for my hemorrhoids making each sneeze feel like I'm getting a cactus shoved up my ass. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A trip to the hospital may be beneficial.

It's called costochondritis, people. Look it up. I feel for you, OP. I'm dealing with the same problem now, minus the allergies, plus a cold. Going back to the doctor about it tomorrow, actually. I'd suggest asking for a combination of anti-inflammatories & pain meds. It's been the only thing to help me, and even though it doesn't totally kill the pain, at least it helps me sleep at night. :3

Ok. (1) The sternum is 3 bones connected by intercostals, so yes, it can be sprained. (2) I would suggest trying a Neti Pot, for sinus irrigation, perhaps even in addition to benadryl or other anti-allergy meds. They are great for allergies. Good luck!

#40 you cant sprain a bone you can only sprain joints you don't actually sprain the bone itself when you sprain your wrist or ankle DA
