    I know not everyone believes in chiropractors, but I've been to one twice. The day it happened and then two days later. That is how I know it is a rib injury. He's broken ribs in his back himself, so he knows what I'm going through.

    OMG, I am so sorry everyone. I am being such a rude person right now. I'm going to just stop for now until I can be nicer.

    The girl is half my size. The issue stems from me not being prepared for the bump. She said she didn't even hit me that hard. It was just a fluke thing. Plus I already have back issues.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Have you tried wrapping an ace bandage around the ribs affected? That would limit the movement, but other than that, there's not a whole lot one can do about that! Have some extra ice cream or yogurt - the calcium is the excuse, you need it to help heal the bones, and indulging yourself might help you feel a teensy bit better!

    I'll retract the offer of hugs from the other thread - don't want to reinjure you!

    My co-worker said the same thing about ice cream! Only we didn't have a flavor I liked so I skipped it and ate my friends left over lunch.
    If I am still in this much pain tomorrow I will call the chiro. He may suggest I get x-rays. Or I might ask if I should. Tonight I had a sharp pain in my chest too. Will this ever end?!?! I need to clean my house but that is about impossible right now.
