Broke a rib

[ebjack]

I was locking up my shed the other night and my dog ran under my foot and I hit the edge of our porch with my left chest. Got an xray today .....one broken rib. It hurts to breath, cough or sh!t. Has anybody ever broken ribs before? How long were you out. This really sucks....

Ouch!

ebjack,

Sorry to hear about your ribs - I had three broken ribs from a racing (cycling) accident. It took about six weeks before I was back training, but about two weeks before I was able get about without lots of pain.

No magic cure (as far as I am aware) - just rest and be sensible. One cautionary note - cut the calories whilst not training don't do as I did and eat the same as I put a shit load of weight on!

All the best,

Dave

Six weeks isn't that long. I just feel dumb when people ask what happened and I have to say it was a dog accident...
