I got so sick and coughed so hard a few weeks back that I cracked a rib. Very painful. Should I rest totally until the pain is gone (I've swum once in four weeks and it's depressing me) or should I swim through the pain and deal with it? I know I probably can't do any more damage.
Thanks for any suggestions and happy new year.

I did the same thing about 10 years ago and swam through it. Swimming wasn't too bad. Just could never get comfortable sleeping:mad:
It is truly amazing the power in a cough. I used to get bronchitus every year, the only thing I could do is to try to stop the coughing with a real strong cough medicine. Right now I am nursing a pulled abdominal muscle from coughing.
Used to take strong asthma medicines, which seemed to make me get the bronchitus every year. Haven't had bronchitus sinch I stopped the Flovent.
Still, talk to your Doctor. I have know my Doc for 17 years, he knows I got to swim:D
