How was everyone's weekend?

I was have a great weekend till I got hurt Saturday afternoon. I was doing a W2W and I got some really big air...more than usual. I think that shocked me a little. Well I looked down like an idiot and I think I started into some type of rotation...I landed stretched out on my side like I did I Raley with out bringing the board back under me.

I felt my several ribs "pop." I hit hard enough to get the wind knocked out of me. I do not think I broke any, but I sure do hurt quite a bit. I may have just pulled them. Sad

I am so pissed...I did not ride at all Sunday in hope that I will be ok by Thursday afternoon for the Long weekend of the 4th.

Anyway, just wanted to rant! Mad

If you heard some popping, ya might want to go see a doctor. It can't hurt. I mean, he man bench ya for a couple more weeks, but if there really is something wrong, you don't want to make it worse.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but again, going to the doctor can't hurt ya...only help.

I agree with you on that it might be broken ribs. See the popping I am refering to is kind of like getting you back popped. I am going to wait it out and see how it feels this weekend. It is really just sore...and it hurts to sneeze. lol Neutral

If I have any pain I am going to take it easy. I do not want to do more damage and be out longer.

I hurt my back boarding recently, and I was worried about a herniated disk. Come to find out from my doctor that he seriously thinks it's nothing more than an overly aggravated nerve that will heal much sooner than a herniated disk. Good trip to the doctor Smile

Yeah, I read about that. I will probably go next week if this keeps up. I mean they cannot do any thing for broken ribs except say..."Take it easy." Even if they are not broken and just pulled, I will just have to take it easy till it gets better.

What I may do this weekend is try to get up and do surface stuff...work more on switch, 180's, etc...

I bruised a rib awhile back and thought I was going to die! It felt like someone was stabbing a knife into my side every time I took a deep breath or if I stood funny or whatever. It was on wednesday and I hurt so bad on friday I didn't even go to work. Literally, all I could do was lay in one position on my side. But about saturday at noon it suddenly went away and I still got to go boarding that day!

I thought I cracked some ribs when my ribcage landed on the top of the wake on a bad crash but after some x-rays the doc said they were just bruised. Pain didnt finally go away until after a month with minimal riding. A doctor I work with said you can actually crack some ribs and they wont show up on x-ray. Even if you did break them, they wont do anything about them anyway. They just have to heal on their own. Some people might tell you to wrap your ribs but dont do it. It restricts how deep of a breath you take. You have to make sure you take deep breaths as you heal because if you dont the lower lobes of your lungs dont get used and you can develop pneomonia.

Im with the rest bruised ribs. They hurt like a *&^%!. I got mine from falling between 2 2x4 on a house my dad was building.

you know their broken if you lay down on your stomache and rock back and forth and you'll be able to feel it kind of.. hard to explain, not it will hurt but it will feel unordinary

When I messed mine up, I could hear them make a crackle sound with a deep breath but they werent broken. Must be cartilage around the ribs shifting. I didnt even think about rocking back and forth with percocet in me. Pain was that severe.

i got whiplash friday afternoon and it killed my weekend. i had to walk around like I was in a batman costume or something (no neck movement whatsoever). Anyway not the first, won't be the last either.

I just broke my nose on sunday, due to an episode with a tamtrum gone bad, the board hit me in the face, and broke my danm nose. It stiull hurts like hell, and I cant board until mid-july, or so the doctor said, well see about that. I will probably be stupid and take a few pulls this coming weekend
