OP, OP! Are you still there? Please forgive these overworked abused nurses. They hijacked your thread and were mean. I have never seen such rudeness or childishness in my life. I think a call to the BON is in order.

Some patients get sore ribs lying in bed cos their pec muscles get all all squished up. Just do all your vitals and take it from there, in context with their diagnosis/ses.

Ibuprofen can help with that pain.
