It seems to be the week for ribs !
and I have probably written enough about them this week 😀
I have done mine twice this year.. The first time the pain was debilitating, I went to A&E and the lady doctor was quite rude really, we don’t x ray ribs why did you come here !, anyway after explaining I would quite like to know what was wrong, she got me in a bear hug squeezed my rib cage and the pain was so bad it was interesting. After some prodding around I reckon they were broke in a few places and perhaps twice on one rib. They were painful for about 6 months. the first month it was restricting my movement.
This time the pain the same kind of pain ( can feel the bone against bone and sneezing is bad) but at about 50% to 60% less intensity and has not really stopped me moving about like it did last time. Hope it does not take as long to heal…Hopefully get on the bike pretty soon.
Hope you feel better soon, One thing the doc did mention ( we did get along OK after a while) was that if the rib had punctured any tissue lungs etc, that your blood pressure would be through the roof.
