Life So how long to heal up? - Page 3

R8ers · 09-23-2012, 08:51 AM

I feel like a dumb ass, had a DD Friday night (wife, she doesn't drink much) .. We went bar hopping , I got nicely buzzed, Came home bout 1130, out like a light in the bed, Woke up at 230am to drain the lizard, didn't cut on light, stumbled and fell onto the side of the bathtub hard with my rib cage... Hit so hard it knocked the breath out of me. Spent all day Saturday in pain... but it's a little more tolerable today, I can at least walk for 5-10 mins slow...

I didn't go to the emergency room because they can't do shit for ribs, Don't know if they are cracked or just bruised bad... Will go tomorrow morning to my Doc.

I am going to be out of work a while, How long does it take for ribs to heal?

Roughly a month before the pain with be gone.. possibly another month after that for it to heal completely. Had 1 cracked rib and 3 of them bruised (concrete fight) and it took a good month to heal.

Cut em out and have Phobia grill them up at the next bash. You only have a few days to live, so at least make a donation to the Planet on the way out buddy

My only advice is to not watch the Chiefs or Raiders today.

Don't watch the Chiefs because you might die of laughter.

Don't watch the Raiders....well, you know why.

I broke 2 in college and even at 19, it took about 5 weeks to heal. Lucky for me, the campus was pretty flat and I only had a couple classes that weren't on the ground floor. I didn't notice it as much going up, but going down steps was a real booger.

Right now they are both steaming piles of dung.

It's like arguing who had the worst hangover dump.

They are both so repugnant that the smell would de-clense a nun.

I have done a similar thing a couple times

To be fair, it was before the abortion of the first 2 weeks and even before the preseason.

They take a long time to heal, but you should be out of constant pain in a couple weeks. You need to take advantage of it and get your doctor to prescribe you some goofballs.

Buzz_TinBalls · 09-23-2012, 10:50 AM

have fun rolling on your stomach to get out of bed every morning.

I wouldn't waste time with a doc.

Right now I think the Chiefs may be slightly better than the Raiders until the Raiders can show me they can get that ZBS stuff going, Personally, I don't think we have the right personnel to do so.... We have no corners at all... Ben will kill us today

Could not lay down on the bed without pain yet, Slept in recliner last night, Wife still has to help me out of that, can't use my right arm enough to get the power to operate the reclining mechanism but I am already moving better than I was yesterday.

400mg of your fav pain reliever every 4 hrs religiously until you can do a sit up. Which will be anywhere from 3 to 7 weeks.
