| GlenT | 21 days | When you're crossing a rocky stream SLOW DOWN! Ibuprofen did a pretty good job dealing with the pain. Used heat to help the healing - don't know if it helped. | details |

| RLShadow | 29 days | Cause was a very careless driver, hitting me when I was on a wide shoulder! Lesson (to me) is to pay attention to traffic, even when the shoulder is wide enough that there seems to be no real danger. | details |
| O-ing | 30 days | Time. Right ribcage bruising after clash with fence. Just sore, no issue with training. | details |

| ebone | 36 days | This injury lingered for quite a while. The April 1 end date is a guess, because it seemed to get better for a day or two then flare up again several times, and I don't remember the last time it hurt. I think the recovery simply took time and wasn't catalyzed by any particular action or rest, but I'm not sure. | details |
| revy | 36 days | Recovery just took time. | details |
| Parkino | 37 days | Don't fall down. | details |
| disorienteer | 38 days | I've decided to call this injury healed today -- 4/25 -- I'm still not 100%, but I'm tired of being injured. So, I no longer am. | details |
| Quirkey | 40 days | Wisdom? Dont wear studded running shoes and pedal straps at the same time whilst cycling, even if (unlike me at the time of injury) you are just heading to training. One or the other yes, just not both. As regards recovery, the 'expert's' advice is not to do anything that hurts your ribcage whilst it is injured. Gentle cardio after a few weeks of complete rest seems to be the way to go. If i had to do this again, i'd be trying to keep some form of strength training in there, esp on majors ... | details |
| HubNukin' | 40 days | Finally healed this thing! I don't think I broke anything. I think I must have hit right on the sternum/manubrium joint which is why I managed to pull, strain or irritate just about everything in my upper body. In the end, rest and Outie's ART were the big healers in this one. Thank goodness that one's over! | details |
| abort | 41 days | Just spent time healing, still hurts sitting from time to time, but getting better. | details |
| cedarcreek | 42 days | Don't look at the map when you should be looking at what's in front of you. | details |
| Homey | 43 days | Pretty much recovered. Still feel it but not impacting training anymore. Took a while b/c I'm not young anymore! | details |
| graeme | 43 days | details | |
| shadmika | 45 days | Time, time, and more time. Everytime I tried to push back to hard running I set myself back. | details |

| Cruachan | 50 days | Dont be an arse! | details |
| disorienteer | 51 days | Got clearance from doctor to resume exercise and training, although she wants me to ease back into it. Still have some residual pain, but that's just how torso injuries go. The bones themselves appear to have healed properly. | details |
| frangipan | 53 days | resting and waiting... not coughing or laughing :-) | details |

| Broken Pinkies | 56 days | I'm still feeling aches on my right side occasionally, but the pain has reduced to a manageable level after 8 weeks. Wisdom? Don't ride so fast. | details |
| JonD | 65 days | working out during this was OK for me. I think based on the pain that I had at least fractured a rib - possbly separated one. Ultimately it was unnecessary to stop working out - including doing chest presses or swimming. Although for some reason tricep curls were impossible. | details |
| hilarity | 84 days | Possibly someone might have cut me open!! Cured by time and a solid effort at building bone. | details |

| Tooms | 148 days | Don't travel 5m through the air and land on the front wheel with the bike near-vertical! | details |
| cricketk | 342 days | Find a physio you trust and like. Mine completely failed to notice that I had broken a rib and was working with the theory that my AC joint was subluxating. The sticking and popping was most likely the broken rib moving around. Training wise - Block only as quickly as the kick comes towards you. Remember to dodge. Remind over-excited colour-belts that you are out of practice and to take it easy. Beating me up isn't buddies. Adrenaline is not necessarily my friend. This is the thir... | details |
