Man, I'm fortunate enough to not have any lasting/recurring pain (so far) but I was working harder than I should have and sprained some ribs. I didn't even know that was possible.
That was the single worst 3 days I have ever experienced. It was like being water boarded with pain. It hurt to breathe. I couldn't breathe deep at all and occasionally had spasms where all I could do was stand and focus on getting oxygen.
I couldn't lie down either so I couldn't sleep. What little sleep I got was sitting up on the couch with my arm propping up my head on the arm rest.
