I was quite ill with a bad viral infection for about 3 weeks and had an awful cough throughout it. The cough has pretty much, I just have the odd dry throat cough now instead of chesty.
My ribs would hurt every so often during some coughing fits but for the last week, even though the cough is mostly gone - my rib pain is worse. It hurts a little to touch, to lie on, walking sometimes, twist certain ways, cough, sneeze and tmi but pushing out a poo too. It's like a pinching and stretched pain if that makes sense. Can also feel popping sensations sometimes in the sore area of my rib. Breathing is fine and I can take deep breaths in and out without any pain.
Has anyone else ever had this after a bad cough? Painkillers, heat pads, cold gel etc haven't helped really. I feel anxious in general atm, there's a lot going on but this just makes me think I've bloody punctured a lung or something and that's causing some of the anxiety.
