Indeed Auburnette that is good news! I am still coughing like a good un Pulled another muscle on Sat evening and have woken up in the night a few times unable to breathe... I am also wheezing between coughs. I dont feel at ill though, and the cough is getting less frequent so I am hopeful that it is on the way out. It just sounds dreadful and I look like I am choking every time it strikes which is a bit distressing for those around me. I got asked a few times on the weekend if something had gone down the wrong way |

Well my cough landed me in A & E last night...seriously painful ribs and struggling to breathe. Anyway, despite hypoxia which led to them making noises about blood clots in lungs it seems that I have one of: bruised ribs, fractured rib or pleurisy All of which require strong painkillers, soft massage, ice and gentle moving around and 6-10 weeks to fully heal. The doctor was lovely, but didnt actually hear me coughing so no treatment for that in itself. I am allowed to restart training when the pain levels allow, but for now easy walking only. Ruddy cough. |

Owch, curly! It does get better, although mine began on the 2nd Jan and I still have the remnants and the occasional coughing fit. I also did something to a rib. Hope you feel better soon |

Will do PH - I need them to take the edge off the pain so I can move around anyway! They also suppress my cough it seems
