Has anyone ever had one?
About 6 weeks ago I came off my bike on the way home from work, I was ok apart from bruises and scrapes but I knew i'd done my ribs in.
The second week was the worst and then the pain got a bit more managable but even this week its still been difficult getting up from lying flat.
This afternoon I was watching TV while lying on my side and I heard and felt a crack from the area of my ribs (I thought it was a bed spring until the pain kicked in) and now i'm finding it difficult to walk around properly again.
I've not taken any time off work or being to the hospital / doctor at any stage but i'm thinking I may need to do something.
Has anyone been to the hospital for a rib injury? Surely there is not much they can do and I dont want to waste anyones time.
