So about a month ago I got this horrible cough, finally went to Dr., she ordered chest xray and I got it bad in both lungs, went through 3 rounds of antibiotics and finally today, I'm starting to cough stuff up. Weird problem however after coughing so hard, i have a rib poking out at my sternum, I'm sure i tore the cartilage, any body got any ideas on how to make the sob stop hurting, I picked up an empty water heater this morning and thought i was gonna die.
