Today, my allergies started up with a vengeance. Yesterday I broke 4 ribs and fractured my sternum. Every time I sneeze, I swear I can feel the broken bones move around. FML

It was an ATV "accident". My ex - boyfriend broke up with me on the trail and then purposely spun us around a turn too fast and I was thrown off the back. He still doesn't understand why I didn't find it funny like he did...

Taking some allergy medicine will at least stop the sneezing

I'm so sorry :( ...ask the doctors if there is anything that can help you with the allergies and pain.

That's because you can feel your bones move every time you sneeze, cough, etc. Ribs are designed to move with inhalation and exhalation, so of course sneezing is part of that. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to completely rid yourself of pain. Your ribs will heal over time.

That happened when I broke my rib! I feel your pain, OP. Either you destroy your bones or suffer the itchiness of a lingering sneeze. It's a lose-lose!

Never broken my ribs but i've had them bruised and that killed bad enough can't imagine having them broke. And as far as the sternum goes use a couch pillow to hold against it when you cough. Trust me I've had 2 open heart surgeries and the pillow helps keep the bone from moving around as much

May I ask why? Your comment led me to believe you get hurt rather often.

27, the pillow thing worked for you? Lucky! I had severe sternal and rib injuries, and people suggested the pillow trick for me but it never worked, just made it hurt more. Maybe I pressed too hard?

Try eating local honey to build up a resistance, it really works!
