Well, I've heard the phrase "coughing my lungs up" before, so maybe your lungs just wanted to take a shortcut and exit through your rib cage.

Well then beware of diarrhoea!

I feel for you OP, happened to me too. A bad cough can do a lot of damage. When I had whooping cough as an adult, I coughed so hard that it made me vomit forcefully enough to cause a tear in my esophagus. So much blood. You have probably already been told this, but when you cough, try hugging a pillow. It will help support your ribs so hopefully they won't hurt so much.

That coughin's gonna put you in a coffin at that rate

OUCH!!! I've bruised ribs before from coughing, but never broken one (not from coughing at least). I have broken a rib in the past though! It hurts like heck! I'm sorry OP!

This story made me crack up

I know the pain of fractured ribs and I feel bad for you!

Sorry to hear that my friend. You should see a doctor and get that checked out. And in the meantime, might I suggest you invest in a bubble wrap suit for when you are having sex then, just in case? Hate to have you hospitalize for unnecessary roughness

This is my worst fear in life.

You have very delicate bones. Go see your doctor?
