Jesus, Johnny, go easy on the pepper!
Prayers for a speedy recovery. Broken ribs are no fun.

Is your cough just that abnormally strong? Or is there something weak about your bones? If the latter, have they offered solutions to strengthen your bones? Yes Massive Doses of Steroids wreck bone density....

Damn ... that was a tough one.
Let's hope for a happy ending.
Take the pills, and don't be afraid to ask for more.
There's no point in toughing it out.
The added stress slows healing.

I just cracked 2 ribs in a m/c wreck. Hurt to breath for 2 weeks. It's no fun.

Yes Massive Doses of Steroids wreck bone density.... Can it be reversed? yes.... Osteoporosis medications can help reverse bone loss....
I was doing a round of once a month injectables but had bad side effects.
Making sure you get high doses of calcium and vitamin D help as well..
After my ribs heal some (to where everything I do is not painful) My doctor has another bone density test ordered....
I have also broken bones in my feet that were bone density related.

I wondered because I had a family member with weak bones well before old age, and they treated like osteoporosis. Treatments focused on increasing bone density. As silly as this sounds, does it help to chug milk?

My mother had osteoporosis and her doctor had her chew Tums or Rolaids every day. They both contain calcium carbonate as the main ingredient. I think she was taking 2000mg a day of Tums.

Should have exercised more in your younger life.
Too late for that now...
