I cracked two ribs at work. It is the kind of pain you cant avoid.
I broke two ribs during the Hanging Chad recount in Florida because I was listening to talk radio and yelled so loud I snapped two of them. I have the occasional rage issue.
I cracked three ribs playing football in high school. It sucked. Breathing deeply hurt. Getting hit - a normal hit you take all day every day in football, hurt. Coughing hurt.
Sneezing......OH MY GOD! Pure agony.
