Injured Ribs

[Lady's Human]

I've cracked ribs in the past, and the only thing that heals it is time. Agonizing time. Try auditioning on a trumpet with cracked ribs......not fun.

One of my coworkers dislocated a rib, and went through something similar to what you're describing, he wound up making several chiro visits to get it taken care of. If I remember correctly, it took him about a month to completely be free from pain.

Sorry to hear about your ribs. Did you hit something when she "hipped" you? Or twist your back or pinch a nerve?

Hope the chiro can help you. X-rays might be in order just to rule out other problems.

Prayers that you start feeling better soon.

The chiropractor said what happened to me is basically like whiplash. You can get whiplash in places other than your neck. So when she bumped me it caused my hips to go one direction and the rest of my body the other, in a whipping fashion.
Thank you so much for the prayers.

Thanks for the info on how long it could take to heal. I was wondering how long I'd have to deal with this. Yesterday I was in a lot of pain. Today, so far, it is not as bad. If it gets bad like yesterday I will be visiting the chiro again.

I agree with helping injured ribs with a big Ace bandage. I was in a car accident where I had three fractured ribs and they immediately put one of those on me in the hospital and while my ribs were somewhat uncomfortable with it on, they weren't hurting as much. Taz, I hope you get better with your rib.

Surprisingly my ribs feel much better! Yesterday I had hardly any pain. I am still being super careful though. I still haven't cleaned my house, LOL. I still get pains when I move certain ways. But it is so much better than last Thursday or even this past Tuesday. So I believe I am on the road to recovery! And I didn't have to go to the chiropractor this week......whew! Saved me some money.

Cin! I'm so sorry about just seeing this. I cracked some very young falling off a horse. The worse thing if you can't take a deep breath, that's ALL you want to do. I hope you are feeling better and can get some xrays. Your ribs protect alot of important stuff. Please take care and feel better!
