I caught a fist in my ribs at Karate 2 days ago.. it wasn't a hard punch, only a glancing blow that was an accident. However, it hurts like hell when I cough or sneeze (sneezing is the worst). I don't mean to make it sound big because it's nothing really, but it makes me appreciate and understand how horrible it must be when people break a rib. Has anyone here ever had an injury to their ribs ? Tell us all You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You have a lot of small and some larger mussels in the thorax, trying to protect the area, and then they start hurting. Then you also have some large nerves running just along your ribs. I heard that a lot of elite rowers have stress fractures of the ribs. Fortunately I never broke any bones (or maybe my little finger once did) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Maybe you broke one? It doesn't actually have to come completely off when it's broken but just have a crack to it. The good thing with ribs is that they stay put and heal by themselves. I cracked my dads rib once with an uppercut to the body. ... While we were practicing boxing, all in good spirit He felt the blow ofc but the pain only came the day after. The rib had a crack. After between 1-2 weeks it was healed. Now maybe you learned that you should block blows at Karate practice You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you did break a rib, you wouldn't be able to breath, lift your arms, or even walk.... They are so easy to bruise and damage, when i used to do Muay Thai i copped a few good ones, takes about 3 weeks to fully get over bruised ribs. I think its cause there is so many nerves muscles and bone in that area...and when breathing it expands so when there is a bit of damage, even minor, you really feel it.

I remeber i was chasing a puck all over the ice to score on the empty net but i was too late so i throwe myself in order to prevent the icing call and then i went into the boards and hit my shoulder. I remember that hit like it was yesterday. The moment i hit the board i was gasping for air and i could barelly get any and that was kind of scary. I couldent move so i got to ride an ambulance to the hospital to get an x-ray and they said that i got a crack in the rib. Anyway when i got home i had very big problems moving around, i mean getting out of bed took several minutes i couldent bend over so i couldent pick anything from the floor. it was not easy for me by that time. Several weeks later i still had problems with it and the problem remember most was that when i walked i leaned my body to my right and it lokked really wired.

I had a rib injury about 10 years ago playing beach volleyball. I dove for a shot (totally missed it of course...but the dive looked cool) & landed on my ribcage. After a few days of pain, I went to to Dr. & he said that we could take an x-ray but whether it was bruised or cracked, the remedy was going to be the same. And the remedy was ..."just give it time!" Not a great answer when it hurts so much to breathe. Not to mention the pain killers didn't kill much of the pain. Sure hope you feel better soon! Wow, kinda seems like you have a "black cloud" hangin' over you recently. You might consider wearing one of these for a while. Gary You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
