I'm on Baclofen once a day and Toradol is ten times better for muscle relaxers. I've had a ton of different muscle relaxers and pain medications in the last 11 years because of almost dying four or five times. Best thing is some cannabis but can't do that with broken ribs so something stronger like a fentayl patch or small dose of dilaudid would work and small dose of toradol for the spasms. I would definitely be asking the doctors to change up what you have as you shouldn't be suffering like you are. Those patches last 3 days and slowly release the medication you use that and a waterproof bandage that is big enough to cover it & you are set for showers as well. You put it on your upper arms or stomach or shoulder. Good luck hopefully they can get you some better relief.

Fell from a roof yesterday and just got released from the hospital with 7 broken ribs, a bruised kidney and a dislocated shoulder. Completely missed my spine or I’d have been in real medical trouble. Thanking my lucky stars today that it was just ribs and the shoulder. Pain management is going to ****, since I don’t take opioids though.

Very lucky. A friend of mine feel only about 8 feet off a hay trailer last winter and shattered his femur pushing it up through his thigh. Broken ribs are no picnic but you could easily be dead, crippled for life, or wound up with bones sticking out of you.

I did a lot of ladder stuff when I was young. **** roofs. I've almost earned my wings a few times and I'll happily pay any price for some other mope to do that shit.

Have you watched Bill Burr talk about his red-head roofing experiences?

Yes. I’m very lucky. When I was lying on the ground unable to move, I thought for sure I had just crippled myself for life. I’ve done high work for 20 years now and this was the
dumbest mistake I’ve ever made. I was in a hurry and wasn’t being safe.

The pain from this is as bad as I expected, but my mental health is by far worse off than my pain is. I had no idea that the anxiety and cabin fever would get this bad. My little injury really puts into perspective what some of the people who return from war with permanent injuries must feel like. I’m getting just a tiny taste of what they have to go through. Going to switch the charitable contributions that I do with my business to the Wounded Warrior Foundation or Tunnel for Towers. Maybe split the contributions between the 2.

I suggest building up your own mind as an escape and as a form of pain treatment. I've learned building an empire of gold in the mind can mentally get you through any situation. The war in the mind is more likely to kill most than their physical health problems. Having a super stressed out mind will make your entire being sick. You're talking to a dude who spent over 5 years just sitting alone in a house, because I couldn't get out of bad. Serious health issues, crapping blood, migraines constantly, some migraines had me in bed for 2-3 months straight. Doctors literally couldn't help....I'm sure my family has paid well north of $1 mil out of pocket over time for keeping me alive, going to doctors, medicines, supplements, etc. The mental battle of chronic illness is quite frankly traumatic. People fade out of life and sick people wind up alone and isolated, and it's just the way it goes. Not necessarily anyone's fault.

I see a lot of people with insane minds, and those same people can't even get along with themselves. Nobody is going to care about you like you, yourself, is going to. You have to be your biggest mental, emotional, and physical health advocate. Our narcissistic society here in America means the weak get left behind. I had to structure my mind to see past all my own BS, my own anxieties and worries, as much as possible. Keeping a cool head while sick is an absolute must, or you'll just get sicker, and the body will feel your mind, and those painful mind signals will transfer via your nerves. Calm signals from the brain make the heart beat better, remain as calm and loving as you can. It's a very difficult thing to master; I'm not a master, yet, but that's my goal.

One of the best things to do is control the rate and depth of your breathing, even if you have to not do anything else besides that. Controlling your breathing is how you control your heart rate and mind. That helps the body think everything is ok, leave the fight or flight state, so you're body knows it's safe and can relax and heal. Best of luck brother, seriously mean that. I know what hell is.
