So, last night I sneezed. I think I rebroke my rib. To tell the truth, I am just really irritated with my body right now.

Do I need to have an X-ray? I am in the beginning of my 3 month scan schedule. I just had a mo appointment last week.

Some days I just want to scream

    Sorry this happened to you. Yes, I think you should have an X-ray. Call your MO or PCP.

    I agree with Tina. Better to know. It's really annoying when our bodies let us down, isn't it? Grrr.

    How about calling your MO office and saying you think you broke a rib do they want an x-ray? Maybe they won't.

    Maybe you didn't rebreak your rib? Maybe you irritated the cartilage? Just looking on the bright side of life.
