Coughing is fine.  Sneezing hurts, but not because of the ribs (fractured ribs are at the back), but because of the sore intercostal muscles that the chest drain went through. Doesn't hurt to cycle.

Hey Devocean ,

I crashed off my MX bike 4 years back . Broke 8 ribs , my humerus and punctured a lung .

Have to agree , the worst pain was that flippin' intercostal drain .

I was back on the idt after 4 weeks .

Good luck and heal fast .
