Hey,

Im going on holidays for about a week, so It might be a while until i read this, but I would like to hear what people think...

I did a flip off a park bench, landed on my feet, but came down hard on my back...I was in alot of pain and I couldnt talk properly for a while.

Its getting better, but im not sure wether its a broken rip, as the pain is very localised and hurts when i breath in or bend down. So I though i may have done something to the rib, otherwise its a muscular thing...

Ill get it checked out at the doctors though

Thanx,

Tim
 
Parkour, Tim?
 
Well........ Was doing a flip off a park bench a good idea? Probably torn an intercostal muscle. Does it hurt when u take a deep breath in?
 
Sounds like you've possibly damaged the cartlidge between your ribs, or cracked a rib, or both.

I doubt you've broken one to be honest, you'd REALLY know about it if you had.
 
Ha, rip, rib, same thing...

Yes, parkour Le :p Fun though

Well, it doesn't hurt so much when i breath in anymore, still hurts, been taking alot of nurofen. But it hurts alot when i sneeze, blow my nose, lift stuff, bend over too far forward etc...

I hope Ive just torn a muscle, but wouldn't it be healed by now? Ive been on holiday for a week now and im still unable to do normal things coz of it.

Ill get it x-rayed sometimes this week and see what ive done and let the doctor exmaine it.

Well, from now on, im going to go to the YMCA for abit, practice flips 'n stuff before i go out and do it in the big wide world.

Thanx,

Tim
 
Speaking as someone who has broken, cracked and bruised a number of ribs over the years, the symptoms sound a lot like bruised ribs to me, or possibly a small crack, although thats unlikely as your breathing isn't laboured. Is there any bruising?

Doctors can't really do much for a rib except strap you up if its particularly uncomfortable. Just protect it as best you can, don't train either as you'll only aggravate it and recovery will take longer. Definitly get it looked at, just to be certain.

Bet it was only fun right up to the point when you landed, huh? ;)
 
Ha, thanx

Well, yes ur right, 'it's all fun and games until somone gets hurt - then it's a sport!" or halarious, something like that....

No bursing, but about the breathing, it hurts like hell when i sneeze and hurts a little when i blow my nose. It hurt alot to breath within the first 3 days, but it's died off now.

Dam! I want to train, infact I have been training since ive gotten back :p But only lightly, hurts A LITTLE, but nothing i can't tough out.

But yes, doctors is first on my list
