      I injured my sternum and surrounding one rib .It has little tenderness even after 11 Months, it continues to pain on a particular position while doing something, I am 17 years old boy. The injury was little
      but it not healed It hurts on twisting and on bending neck. I had ignored my injury for 8 months and continued playing.

    Thanks for the info. I just broke 3 ribs 3 1/2 weeks ago. Just wanted to give a little more hope about the recovery process because that’s what active people want to know also. I’m 57 and play a lot of golf so when this happened to me I was concerned about how long would I be out. Everything I read and my doctor said 6-8 weeks due to my age so that really sucked but, I’ve got good news. When it first happens it is the most miserable feeling and the pain is ridiculous from breathing, coughing, sneezing and sleeping etc… after about week I could pitch & chip for a short period of time,week 2 i could swing about 50% 30-50 yard shots week 3 I could almost swing about 80% this is just under week 4 and I can now swing 100%. When I was laid up I did do some stretches and limber exercises for legs & hips just so you know as well. So early on it may feel like it will take forever to heal but I’m really surprised my healing was this quick. Obviously I couldn’t go out and play a contact sport football or basketball due to possible re injury and I definitely don’t want that misery again. Just thought I would share my experience to give a little hope.

    Managed to punch myself in the ribs as I tripped and fell while jogging down a hill. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m a bit antsy, so never completely stop. Found walking and lower body calasthenics a good go to, mindful yoga - definitely no chatarangas, press ups or things where you have to take the body weight through your arms/chest and no regular ab work. Standing abs is manageable slowly. Temporarily given up working with weights on upper body. No running, the impact and deeper breathes cause too much pressure and the ribs!
    I teach yoga, so this is likely a valuable lesson 😆
