Heavens Matt, reckon you've had more than your quota of health problems to last you for the year! When I had a bad, persistant I used to wrap a towel firmly around my ribs when I coughed. (tip from Doc) That stopped the ribs from expanding and thus the pain. It was a chore but it worked! A belt works as well. You can still cough just as usual. Regards to Fran.
