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 !

Megabot · 06-22-2002, 12:05 PM

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.

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
