( Pain ) Do you know that a cast cannot be applied if the ribs are broken??

I was already aware that pain in the ribs could be so severe that it becomes difficult to breathe.

 

I never thought something like this would happen, where my family would get hurt.

 

 

 

On April 24, 2024, it rained that day. Usually, my husband really likes the slip-on shoes, but...

That day too, I went out wearing this~ I tripped and fell on the last step.

They said they hit their rib area on the corner of the stairs when they fell.

It seems like a crack appeared back then~

 

 

That evening, my husband complained of unbearable pain and found it too difficult to lie down or sit.

The hardest thing is that I can't breathe freely.

The pain of not being able to breathe properly; I have experienced it recently due to sleep disorders.

I think this is the scariest horror.

 

In the morning, the hospital that starts consultations around that time diagnosed it as not a urinary incontinence.

I just thought it was a bumping pain, so I only received a pain injection and medication prescription before returning home.

However, even on the second day, they said it was very difficult to breathe. The next day

I went to Seoul Bareun Hospital through a friend's introduction, and the doctor asked me where I was hurt and what kind of pain I was experiencing.

He asked and then tapped his chest with a 'knock,' making a 'ugh' sound lol, along with a prescription to get a CT scan today.

You have been diagnosed as follows.

 

 

Do you know? Even if the ribs are broken, other parts of our body don't get casted.

It seems that the only way to lie still is to stay lying down.

I'm not the type to lie still, and I also have work to do, so I think I was living while hunching over my painful spots.

After one week, after two weeks, and almost four weeks have passed, there has been significant improvement compared to before.

 

On April 27, 2024, I broke my rib in an accident, and I am still experiencing discomfort, so I am continuing to manage it regularly.

 

What are the symptoms of a crack in the rib?

 

A feeling of tightness near the ribs when holding one's breath.

I experience throbbing and stabbing pain even when I sneeze.

 

 

Foods that are good for pain...

   

🔸 Ginger and honey preserved

Since we farm, ginger is an essential part of our kimchi-making season.

There are even ginger crops that are so unplanted that there are hardly any left.

It's the ginger pickling I always do when preparing for kimchi making.

 

    Ginger?

It is one of the foods good for relieving body pain. Ginger is also effective against colds.
Chills, fever, headache, vomiting, shortness of breath, phlegm, and treatment for abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by food poisoning.
It is known to be effective even with a full stomach.

In traditional Korean medicine, dried roots and stems are also used as medicinal ingredients.
And it is easy to digest and also has sterilizing effects.
It can be seen that it is used in various ways beyond pain relief [Source: Witten Oriental Medicine Clinic]

 

 

The method of honey pickling is very easy~

 

Items needed: ginger and honey only (since I will drink it as tea, the ratio is 1 part ginger to 2 parts honey)

 

Using a spoon to peel ginger makes it peel very easily.

 

 

Wash the freshly peeled ginger thoroughly and drain the water using a colander.

 

  

 

Please chop the ginger using a blender or a mincer.

 

 

Mix honey into the crushed ginger and mash it together.

Ginger syrup is complete, haha.

I think I ate a lot.

I also add a little of this when measuring ginger pickled in honey and meat.

The gamey smell is also removed, and the flavor is greatly enhanced thanks to the honey.

 

 

Additionally, I will introduce foods that are good for pain relief.

 

🔸부추 

 

Chives are also one of the kimchi varieties always available at our house.

The one above is the kimchi made last week, and the one below looks very fermented just by looking at it.

This is two months old chive kimchi. I also really like it when it's very fermented.

 

Chives??

Chives, which are effective for chronic pain relief, contain vitamins A and C.
It is also rich in carbohydrates.
It has an active oxygen detoxification effect and also promotes smooth blood circulation.

And when you have diarrhea due to indigestion from food, use chives.
Adding soybean paste and boiling it makes it effective.
Chives help strengthen the intestines.

Additionally, when experiencing vomiting, making and consuming chive juice can help alleviate symptoms to some extent. [Source: Witten Oriental Medicine Clinic]

 

 

Green tea

 

When I traveled to Boseong, I bought a type of green tea called Jakseolcha.

Jakseol tea is named because its tea leaves are very small, resembling a sparrow's tongue.

The advantage is that the color deepens, the umami becomes stronger, the bitterness decreases, and the tea leaves become lighter.

I prefer a milder taste over green tea.

 

Green tea??

 

Green tea, a representative of green foods, has antioxidant properties and affects cholesterol levels.
It has the effect of lowering blood sugar levels. And above all,
It is one of the teas that many people drink because it is effective in relieving pain.

Green tea is referred to as a green food, and eating green foods benefits the body and mind.
You can feel yourself becoming more comfortable.
Green foods not only cause visual tension but also affect nerves and muscles.
It also helps to relieve tension.

 

 

 

Excessive use, even if it is said to be good for pain, can be toxic.

The most important thing is not to get hurt.

Having stress and a relaxed mind is also important.

 

Have a healthier day on this hot summer day.
