So went downhilling sunday, did alright. (See Bromont thread in ride reports...)

Fell off pretty good about a 5 of 6 times. 3 times over the bars in the rocks/stupms and another couple of sorta high-ish speed front wheel wash outs. A few dings here and there, no major injuries...

Now, thursday, 4 days later, I got rib pain. How do bruises work? Why would they hurt more 4 days after impact? I can breathe fine, but laughing is another story.

Does sympathy make them all better? Come on people, let's feel the love...

Try rubbing on some lavendar oil and taking a hot bath with some candles princess.

 

[MudGrrl]

ooh! that sounds good.

 

[Da Peach]

I'm accepting applications to fill the "Lavendar Appliactor" position...

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Da Peach again." dagnabit.

HAHAHA.

 

[DHS]

hm, hurt to laugh. could be you might actually have cracked a rip

 

[Ridemonkey]

Yeah, could be cracked or bruised. Unfortunately I don't think they really do anything for that, I think you just have to wait it out.

 

[Da Peach]

But I want to feel better NOW!

 

[ummbikes]

Percocet? Don't you Canadians have access to free medical?

 

[MMike]

Gonna call Mike?

Naw, that's telltale sign of a busted funnybone.

 

[Westy]

I kind of hate DaPeach being MMikes bbrother but I would approve if I could for the use of "Suck It Up Buttercup"

Nah, I feel I'll get all the attention I need over the internet...

Ouch, right in the feelings...

I think the head monkey hit it on the nose. I had the same thing happen to me (kart racing in a seat too big) once. I was fine all day but about 2 days later the pain and soreness set in. Doc said the ribs were bruised, but not cracked.

or ripped a crack.

 

[rigidhack]

Same thing here - one up near my sternum, one low on my right side. I had armour on, too. Just suck it up and hope it gets better. Seems to be working for me.

Shouldn't this post be in the "Original Corny Joke" thread?

 

[dhbuilder]

all types of rib injuries suck.

time goes by and you think you're just about over it.
and then you'll twist or turn just the wrong way, or you'll sneeze.
and the the sharp stabbing pain of dropping back to square one hits ya.

i separated some in my lower rib cage years ago.
and it was almost a year before that scenario quit happening.

 

[Da Peach]

Yep, I'm getting the distinct impression that this will be a lingerer. Just below the sternum, where the ribs start to curve away toward your flank.

This is going to be annoying. Embrace the pain.

Chicks dig claims of internal discomfort.

 

[Da Peach]

I'll let you know if that's true tomorrow...

"I have a pain near my abdomen...no...a lit-tle lower..."

 

[rigidhack]

Chicks dig claims of internal discomfort.

Tell that to my wife. She thinks it is funny to jab me in the ribs. uch: (Now, if you meant "chicks dig causing internal discomfort" then you might be right on the money.)

 

[Ridemonkey]

That's true. My gf loves nothing more than to punch me in the stomach as hard as possible when I least expect it. Good thing my core is cast iron!

 

[OGRipper]

I hate rib injuries, they take forever to heal and there is pretty much nothing you can do...except drink heavily.

Well then I guess there isn't anything more I can do.

Off to my 5 a 7.

When I was racing shifter karts I had more than a few trips to the Dr. for rib pain. Most times in the EXACT area that you are talking about. I actually tore "things" loose from the ribs which was nice and painful. Maybe see a Dr....if it is something like what I had they can give you an anti-inflammatory (they gave me Vioxx before it was declared evil). It can really speed the healing....

Turns out, you're right. Heh heh...

So I guess you saw your new friend again last night?

This emoticon will get boring really fast... but it's just so damned appropriate...

Didn't help the ribs much...

David Hasselhoff would be a good friend to have I bet...German chicks...
