fark dude, you have had a hideous run with those ribs. There must be pain relief meds that are a bit milder than oxycodone but more effective than panadeine. Panadeine forte is ok... but too much acetaminophen is bad for the liver.I'd just like to give a big fuck off to my luck...
Rebroke 2 ribs on the weekend (right side again, makes sneaky out a quick one in the dunnys at work an unpleasant proposition due to pain), spent the day at hospital again, after my last visit the triage nurse and dr's didn't stuff around and got all sorts of stuff tested. Off to see my thoracic surgeon next week - looking forward to seeing the expression on his face, surgery to plate the ribs is looking pretty likely as now they have been rebroken twice over the last 4 months.
Got a prescription for oxycontin, don't know what other people think of it, I feel no pain when on it, but I am completely smashed as well, won't be taking any more of that shit, too powerful.
Oh well, I get to wait another 4-6 weeks until i ride again. maybe xt 11 spd will be released by then.
some armour for your ribs might be worth considering... http://www.forcefieldbodyarmour.com/product/rib-protector/2350
