Question:
Yes you may certainly have a strained muscle or a cracked rib. Quite by coincidence I just took my mom to the doctors today. She has been having a really bad time as of late with her asthma. She is also on many of the meds you are taking including prednisone which she has been on regularly for many years now. I don’t know if your doctor has made you aware that the regular use of steriods can cause osteoperosis. With osteo the chances for hairline fractures and cracked or broken bones are quite high. One of the reasons for her visit today was pain in her chest and back. The doctor told her she had a fractured rib. I think it would be a good idea to make a visit to your Doctor to find out for sure what the cause of your pain is. It could be a break or fracture or it could just be a strain but it’s always best to find out for sure.
Response:
Is it possible to crack a rib during an asthma attack as a result of coughing so much and straining to breathe?
Yes it is possible because i did exactly that a few years back.
Response:
I get the same thing but the Dr called it intercostal neuralgia, something about the coughing irritates the nerves in the lungs so bad that the slightest move or pressure can cause excruciating pain. All he did was give me pain killers and said it would take a few months to go away. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I don’t seem to have the original message to reply to, so I am piggybacking on LST Bird’s reply.

In extreme exacerbations that involve a lot of coughing (and especially if prednisone is also involved), I have sometimes had excruciating cramps in the rib muscles. (intercostals?) Out of nowhere, one set or another of these muscles will seize up in a severe spasm that almost takes my breath away. Nothing helps, not even stretching. After a couple of minutes (seems like hours) that muscle will gradually relax and then when it’s least expected another one will act up. AARGH! Emily

after a neb treatment. I was also having excruciating pain in my side, but ignored it because I couldn’t breathe. It still hurts quite a bit. I can’t laugh, cough, turn, breathe, etc without horrible pain. Is it possible to crack a rib during an asthma attack as a result of coughing so much and straining to breathe? TIA!
Yup! It has happened to me. Have your doctor check it out (but expect him to give you painkillers and advice to take it easy). Apparently doctors don’t worry too much about cracked ribs because they get better on thier own and the patient gets lots of feedback (pain) when they overdo things.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I have a question that may sound a bit far-fetched but I’m going to ask anyways! I’ve had asthma for about 12 years. I’ve been steroid (prednisone) dependant for the past 4 years (in addition to inhaled steroids…Flovent….Singulair, Serevent, Ventolin and nebulized albuterol…oh, and Zantac for acid reflux). My question….I was in the ER this past Sunday because I had a bad attack. I had been coughing all day but was hoping that the neb treatments would help and I could wait until Monday morning to see the allergist. I decided to go in after I watched my peak flow go down by 100 l/m in about 20 minutes after a neb treatment. I was also having excruciating pain in my side, but ignored it because I couldn’t breathe. It still hurts quite a bit. I can’t laugh, cough, turn, breathe, etc without horrible pain. Is it possible to crack a rib during an asthma attack as a result of coughing so much and straining to breathe? TIA! Missie Yeah, coughing can break a rib. The only treatment is pain killers. They gave me a bunch of Motrin (600 mg x3) when I fell off a ladder and cracked ribs. Turns out this could be dangerous since ibuprofen can cause asthma in some asthmatics. Initially I was given Tylenol with codeine. I learned how to hold my chest when I coughed, so it wouldn’t blow the cracked ribs apart. You could have your ribs x-rayed to verify it; I recommend it. They used to tape broken ribs–its not usually done now since it can cause the ribs to heal in a compressed position.

Hi Missie, You may have just strained your muscles and made them sore from the coughing. Sore chest muscles can be very painful. However, anything is possible so you should have it checked by your physician. Angela

I forgot to mention, a cracked rib can cause lung and breathing problems. When I fell off the ladder cracking 3 ribs, I ended up on ground with severe breathing problems. Fortunately had my Ventolin in my pocket and was able to use. Eventually I was able to drive to Urgent Care and get an x-ray and scrip for pain pills. The x-ray showed one lung was smaller under the cracked ribs (partially collapsed???) So get an x-ray. Note, a broken rib could puncture the lung but not very likely. Ellis

One of the main treatments for GERD is to elevate the head of the bead 6 in. with wood blocks. Have you been evaluated for Sinusitis. Often for steroid dependent cases like yours, its worth getting a 2nd opinion from National Jewish Center in Denver, on your asthma treatment. 800-222-LUNG www.njc.org Ellis

I’ve tried touching the two strings between them and strumming, but you hear more of the noise from hitting the muted strings than the actual notes. Anyone have any hints on how this should be played? First of all, you don’t have to strum it. You could play the lower note with the pick and simultaneously pick the upper note with your ring finger. Remember, when using a pick you still have three free right-hand fingers to work with. Seeing as how this is John Frusciante, I’m willing to bet that it is fingerpicked.
Well then it wouldn’t even be an issue. Nonetheless, it’s good to know how to do stuff like that with a pick too, because you can. So, to answer the original question: Yes. It’s possible with a pick or without. Josh

Response:
The only way to play this song is to fingerpick. It’s easy fingerpicking though, play the bass with your thum amd the treble with your ring finger. Since the treble is mostly on the secong string (b) practice alternating you fingers between ring, middle, and index.. Also it’s easier to play at the 8th fret.

There’s a number of ways. First of all, you don’t have to "strum" it. You could play the lower note with the pick and simultaneously pick the upper note with your ring finger. Or, if strumming is an absolute necessity, you could deaden the middle strings in a number of ways. I think the best way would be to fret the lower note with your index finger and use that finger to hang down over the middle strings and deaden them. Fret the upper note with your ring finger. I tried it this way and it works. If you can’t get it to work use the first method. Remember, you still have three free fingers on your right hand, in addition to the pick. Josh Before you buy.

Since you didn’t say which string is the low E and which is the high e, I’m assuming that the "3" is the low C on the A string, and the "5" is the E on the B string. There’s a number of ways. First of all, you don’t have to strum it. You could play the lower note with the pick and simultaneously pick the upper note with your ring finger.

I have no idea why, but if he starts eating donuts again he can look forward to hear problems again. They are loaded with trans-fat. May as well eat straight Criso, flour, and sugar. It’s the same thing. Maybe the improved circulation lowered his insulin resistance. Personally, I think he’s playing with fire eating like that. He’s using up his chances of repair pretty quickly. c

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO | $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin | board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through | newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to | this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an | initial investment of $6.00!

Anyway, it said | that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the | article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list | at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are | thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to | a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to | lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. | Well GUESS WHAT!!… within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I | was shocked!

Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal | them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper | stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you | are doing is creating a service.
