Foxy Brown Sentenced to a Year in Jail. NEW YORK -- Foxy Brown was sentenced Friday to one year in jail for violating probation that stemmed from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City nail salon three years ago. I'm not going to give you any more chances, Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told the 28-year-old rapper.
You can bruise your ribs coughing, that's for sure! I have an aunt who had the flu years ago and never got over that cough...she has kept bruised ribs every winter since. Try to do the panting thing, like they show when a woman is in labor.
In some cases, lots of forceful coughing -- like from a bout of pneumonia -- can cause rib fractures. Most of the time, the broken rib is only broken in one place, and is an incomplete fracture, meaning not all the way through the bone. Completely broken ribs may or may not move out of place. If they do move, they're called displaced rib fractures and are more likely to puncture lungs or damage other tissues and organs. Ribs that stay in place -- usually ribs that are not completely broken in half -- are called nondisplaced rib fractures.
