You can still have pain even after physiological healing has taken place. Lots of factors play a role in why we can still develop persistent pain. Hang in there! Follow up with your GP as needed. -Aleks

Is there any pain associated? May be a good idea to see your general provider to perform a more thorough assessment on if there is anything going on, such as a hypermobility issue. Keep me posted. -Aleks

Hi Roberto, please seek the appropriate medical attention if you believe you have fractured your ribs. Keep me posted. Cheers, Aleks

Thank you for your kind words! Glad to hear you are doing ok. Keep me posted on the progress. Cheers, Aleks

Yeah it is more echoey than I was hoping for. Thanks for the feedback!

Happy to help. Thank you kindly for your comment! :) - Aleks

Why the shade? I’m trying to share the info that I’ve learned from working with hundreds with rib fractures in my career. Bizarre comment. Does a cancer doctor need to have cancer to help people get better?

@@aleks_physio I have a fractured rib at the moment and i can't lay on my back, it's agony, and if i tried to use a pillow on my chest also agony. So you advocate for this method and have not experienced the pain that goes with your methods. Some of the shade maybe due to having had 4hrs sleep in 2 days. and don't get me started on cancer doctors.

This isn’t medical advice though. It’s general education from what I’ve found that has worked with patients in the past. Does it work for all patients? Of course not. I’ve continuously mentioned that pain is a complex experience that is person to person specific. Lots of factors play a role. This is why some people have broken ribs or injuries and have minimal limitations and others have considerable ones. If I’m your Physio and I’m telling you to try this method and it’s not helping. I wouldn’t tell you to keep doing the same thing again. But I’m not your Physio. Just someone on UA-cam trying to share my experiences who’s worked in an inpatient trauma hospital and seen many of these patients. Regardless, I know it’s tough but hoping for a speedy recovery!

Thank you for your kind words. Made my day! All the best in your recovery and good luck with surgery next month! Regards, Aleks

Hi, I am a support worker, my client has neck infusion operation, it is 3 months since the operations, his neck completely stiff, physiotherapist said nothing to do!!!, I am trying with him to do yes and circle shoulder exercises. Note, he has full sensation, moving his arms and legs, I am now doing settings balance exercises to prepare him for walking. My target in 6 months put him on his leg again

Hang in there 💪

No problem! Haha hang in there. Hoping for a speedy recovery! -Aleks

@@aleks_physio 🙏❤️

No problem! Happy to help! -Aleks

I know. The sleep is the most challenging. Play around with pillow positioning to see if that helps. Small tweaks/adjustments generally can make a difference. But it also is quite person-specific. Hang in there n -Aleks

I’m not too familiar with the rhinoplasty and rib cartilage unfortunately. Please seek the advice of your GP and/or surgeon. -Aleks

See a Physio if it’s bothering you and hasn’t gotten better still. Hang in there. -Aleks

💪 happy to help!

Unbearable pain in your knee when you move your kneecap? Probably a good idea to see your Physio to do a more thorough exam and figure out what’s causing these symptoms. Keep me posted. -Aleks

Hello, thank you for your kind words. Hang in there. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Follow up with your GP as needed! -Aleks

Hang in there! See a PT for rehab. -Aleks

See a Physio! -Aleks

Thanks for your kind words. Hang in there! Ups and downs but the trend should be small victories overall. Hoping for a speedy recovery! -Aleks

Hang in there! Hoping for a speedy recovery. -Aleks

​@@aleks_physio thanks

I couldn’t tell. It depends on what the diagnosis is. See your GP or Physio for more guidance. This is just education not medical advice. -Aleks

Hang in there Debra. The road to recovery is generally bump, however, the trend should be upwards. Follow up as needed with your GP. -Aleks

Happy to help! Thanks for your kind words! -Aleks

It depends on level of fitness and stage of recovery if you have an injury. See a Physio.

@@aleks_physio i have compensated trendelenburg can do this exercise every day ?

Generally we don’t recommend exercises to be done everyday in order to allow your body time to heal and recovery from the previous exercises, depending on how strenuous the exercises were. I would rather someone do it 4-5x/week consistently for 2-4 sets of 8-15 reps then do everyday. See a PT. This can vary. Not med advice. Aleks

Hard to say if it is broken without more information. See your GP to order X-rays and monitor for any other symptoms. Most rib fractures in isolation in the absence of any other injury generally tend to heal well without any intervention although can be up and down in the early stages, trend should be towards overall improvement. Keep me posted. -Aleks

Generally these fractures are pain limiting that’s why there are two conflicting opinions. I think the answer is somewhere down the middle. You don’t want to push past the pain, but some discomfort is generally ok (in the absence of any other symptoms or injuries that occurred in addition). Start slow and build up as able, watch your 24 hour tolerance after the activity to monitor for flare ups. Keep me posted. -Aleks

See a Physio would be the best bet. It Depends on your timeline and symptoms and what you can and can’t tolerate. No way for me to tell you which ones better without an assessment. Most rib fractures so heal and should slightly improve overall despite ups and downs daily via pain. -Aleks

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to get seen but it’s difficult here as public healthcare system is broken and wait times are awful and I cannot afford private. I will try to see which swimming style doesn’t cause me sharp pain today.

Hang in there. See a PT. It should get better generally. -Aleks

Yes it can be. Nerves are still healing. Numbness is usually the last to recover. Unsure how much recovery as it all depends. Day by day. Keep walking and exercises as per surgeon recommendations. Follow up as needed. -Aleks

Hi Aleks. If the numbness from epidural fibrosis, what exercise do you suggest tqvm

@adilahaz none in particular over general exercises as described here. Unless your surgeon has any specific restrictions or limitations. -Aleks

OK thanks.. I just follow the exercises tqvm

It depends on how the surgery went but would not affect the health of the ribs unless done poorly or if you had immediate complications afterwards. Follow up with your doctor as needed. Monitor for any unusual signs (shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, abdominal pain, etc). -Aleks

Hi Jameson, correct (I wrote this in the description section to elaborate on this video). Movement and can also be an injury to the muscles/cartilage/tendons/ligaments. Cheers, Aleks

Hang in there. See a Physio. -Aleks

Happy to help. Thanks for your kind words! -Aleks

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Hang in there. -Aleks

thanks!

I went to the doctors and they are broke 😭

@mxaisie oh darn. Hang in there!

Does it just come on when you run? Always a good idea to see your provider if you are in doubt. Keep me posted. -Aleks

@@aleks_physio yes it just happens when I run, it doesn’t happen every time but but in occasion it does

No worries. Wishing you a healthy recovery. -Aleks

@@aleks_physio thank you, and God Bless and Protect you in Jesus Name, Amen🙏❤️

Did you have an injury or a known mechanism of injury? It’s always hard to know without doing an exam and looking at images. See your GP for more guidance. Wishing a speedy recovery. Keep me posted. -Aleks

Hi Julie, I’m not quite following the story. You said you went to urgent care and no imaging but then said fractured several lower left back? Who said that? You fractured your back or the ribs in the lower back area. What did the provider tell you moving forward? Generally if it’s stable fracture without any other injury to the organs or other symptoms other than pain, it generally gets better with time. Albeit this can vary in terms of how long and what you can and cannot do. Follow up with your GP as needed. Wishing a speedy recovery. Keep me posted. -Aleks

@@aleks_physio the doctor at urgent care did an exams with her hands and said she could feel the fractures and said the x ray wouldn’t change her care plan. The popping and movement is on my lower left rib cage I was wondering who best to follow up with . What type of care provider I don’t have a GP I never go to doctors nor want to. But I will follow up with chiropractor or physio? Never heard of that

Generally we say to use pain as a rough guide. But again I can’t tell you the exact recommendations because I’m not your provider. remember this is just general education not medical advice. See you GP for clearance and follow up with a Physio.

Always hard to say without knowing the story. If in doubt, doesn’t hurt to get it checked out. Keep me posted. -Aleks

@@aleks_physio ok, thanks

Hi Chris, good to hear that it is getting better. In the absence of pain or any constitutional symptom then generally it would be ok to monitor. However, of course I don’t know the story so if you are concerned it’s also a good idea to follow up as needed! Keep me posted. -Aleks

At least Now you know for the future! Did you have an injury? -Aleks

Thank you kindly for your words! -Aleks

Thanks for the feedback. -Aleks

Hello, yes these can be other ways to make it more challenging! They’re probably leading in that pattern due to decrease in strength or compensatory patterns/movement patterns that they may not be aware of! That’s why it’s beneficial to work with someone for exercise cues and knows how to make them easier and more challenging! -Aleks

You may have overdone it. In the early days it’s important that you stay active but relatively. They key is to slowly build up activity level and monitor 24 hr pain response. Of course this can be quite challenging especially when you’re feeling good to not test the boundaries. Follow up with GP as needed. Although it may be up and down in the short term the general pattern should be improvement. Keep us posted. -Aleks

Not necessarily re: the popping. But get it checked out if you’re concerned. Recovery would of course be longer for a broken vs bruised rib. However, generally even with a simple fracture treatment is conservative. No surgery. Regardless, an X-ray or CT can rule a fracture out and give you more reassurance. Should slowly get better as time passes. Keep me posted. -Aleks

Happy to help! Thanks for watching :) -Aleks

Thanks for your kind words Verlie! Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery! -Aleks
