Are you sure you didn't just crap your pants ? That's about the same sound as you mentioned and it can hurt as well ! :D :D

do what you must... its ur ribs after all.

No johnny haha it is hurting REALY here!

If youve broken a rib it wont recover properly by itself and will probably hurt for the rest of your life.

Of course if youve broken it badly it might do something serious like puncture a lung. (That can kill you by the way)

And even if you havent broken a rib it sounds like somethings isnt right. Go see a doctor.

see a doc NOW!!! Having had broken bone before, I can tell you the doc neds to set it in the right place BEFORE it heals

OKAY i go to the nasty doc on Monday if Vesselle had the curage to go to a doc for here broken toe then i must have the darn guts to go to the doc to!! But i HATE it yeah i am an coward that is afraid of doctors yes i am sorry i hate it but i go!!

Yeah, have it checked out Megabot, if you have a cracked rib it could be dangerous to ignore it. I once broke a thumb, when it happened i went to a hospital and that stupid doctor said it wasn't broken. After three weeks my thumb was still hurting and swollen so i went back and had some pics made. Then they saw it Was broken after all, but it kinda healed by itself. I was never able to bend my thumb like i used to before, pretty stupid isn't it ?

I once tore a tendon in my little finger during a martial arts exercise. i didn't think much of it and it was 6 weeks before I saw the doc. but it was too late to mend the tendon so now I can't fully straighten the tip of that finger. seeing a doc is better than no doc ;)

Yeah johnny a frind of mine broke here finger one time and she did not go to a doc for almost two weeks and they had to broke it up again and she told me that she NEWER should do that again because of that DAMN pain when they had to broke it again! omg poor girl!
