Rib Ligament Injury Question Please Help

**70sAesthetics** · 02-28-2013, 10:06 PM

I injured myself a year ago lifting and working labor. I had loosened/torn the ligament that connects my rib to my spine. So the rib head slipped out. I also a had trigger point, muscular damage and I could not sleep for months due to pain and involuntary muscle twitches in leg (restless leg syndrome) , butt, arm, that cause body jerks when entering a relaxed state.

I went to chiros, physios, doctors. Nothing worked as rib ligaments take FOREVER to heal, and any cracking, manipulation, exercise made the symptoms worse.

I finally went and got Prolozone injections. After 3 months it helped and I was feeling 80% better. Last week I went to an osteopath. I made sure he did not crack me, although he told me I was on my way to healing well. He said my rib was still a tad out, he pushed on all my ribs and claimed to push it more in and spread the surrounding tissues for better circulation. I felt no real pain at the time.

It is now 2 days later and im sore and having symptoms ive had at the beggining of this whole fiasco. Pains, twitching, no sleep, sore etc. He defenetely aggrivated it, clearly it was not fully healed.

My question is instead of prolozone (ozone+b12, procaine folate etc to cause blood ciruclation for healing), is there not better methods I can use here to repair a rib ligament?

Can I not like Inject GH or Test directly into the ligament? I refuse to believe no NFL players/bodybuilders have never torn rib ligaments before and recovered. They must be doing something I am not. Because after 1 year it is still not healed.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

That sucks man!! I think your right, it must happen in the NFL all the time. You need to find the right DOCTOR and give the Chiros/physios a miss for now. Spot injecting GH doesn't work, although GH and Var will definitely help. Of that I'm sure. This should be in the injury/rehab section BTW.

Man there is no right doctors. I mean I am seeing a Pain Specialist, what are the other doctors? There orthopedic surgeons but all they can do is stick a metal rod in your back with surgery.
