Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gosh, so it sounds like a cracked or fractured rib can hurt as bad as one that's broken. I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I wish somebody could do something to ease it for you. Colleen abijann <no_reply > wrote: The Xrays and CT scans don't always show everything. A person can have a minor crack or fracture of the rib and it may not be evident on the films. You have to remember that the doctors are looking at a photograph of the rib and not the real thing. A truly " broken rib " will not be missed.
