broken ribs

[Will]

I smashed a bunch when I was trying to get the mast down on my sailboat in the wind. It came down across my back and pinched me between the railing and the mast. The doctor looked at the x-ray, winced and told me sometimes life sucks. It took months to heal and running my fingers along my ribs still gives me the heebie jeebies.

I broke a lot of ribs ove the years. The compression banages help alot. They will hurt BAD at first and you will know they were broke for a few months they will still twinge with a bit of discomfort.
Good luck and take it easy. Try not to lift anything heavy that is when they really hurt.

I broke 2 a couple years ago snowboarding. Compression bandages to help the pain, and a video game system, and one of those little paddle-balls kept me well entertained.(Simple mind, simple amusement)
