Thanks for sharing your experience recovering from your rib injury through each of the phases. Your advice resonates and makes sense. Agree there is usually not a lot of useful of online advice. Ultimately, listening to our body, being conservative and taking days off when necessary is the best approach.
Thank you for this! I’m currently healing from a broken rib. I’m anxious to be back in the gym and going strong. I’m just not there yet. But each day is a little better.
I'm sorry to hear about your broken rib Shelly. Hang in there and you will be back in he gym in no time. Just listen to you body and take it easy to start. Good luck, Sage.
12 days after my cycling accident, I’m looking at staring on the road back. Broke 6 ribs, pneumothorax, partial lung collapse and severed a tendon in my L hand. Thanks for sharing your experience, picked up some useful information and ideas.
I'm same as you, Sophie - 6 fractured ribs, collapsed lung, surgery - hockey collision. It's been 2.5 months and I'm not able to play golf yet. Some posts I've read suggest golf not possible for a year. You've been a year and wondering what your pain is, if any, and if you've been able to return to all activities.
Thank you for making this video, currently dealing with two fractured ribs. It’s been 3 weeks and I decided give running a shot again and was discouraged seeing how bad it still felt. But watching your video gives me more perspective, thanks again and hope your recovery goes smoothly.
Sorry to hear about your fractured ribs Jose. I remember how uncomfortable that was, especially when trying to sleep. Good luck with your recovery. I'm glad my video helped.
4 weeks in after breaking 2 ribs in a bike crash. Had done around three 4km walks since, the first one just a week after. Now, tonight I'll sneak out for a short slow jog and see how it goes. Glad I came across your video, man.
Right on. I'm sorry to hear about your injury but it sounds like you are on the road to recovery (no pun intended, lol). Listen to your body and take it slow. You got this!
While I am losing my weight, I had caught such a bad cold and were broken my 8th rib due to coughing. It has been 4weeks now. And I am going to run a full marathon upcoming Sunday. I hope I could finish the race. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I just broke 6 ribs ,L5 and right clavicle also punctured right lung. Its been 14 days since I hurt myself and I am starting to feel better pain wise. Sleeping was the most difficult process and I finally am able to sleep almost the whole night. I did this on my mountain bike. Thanks for making the video!
Really appreciate your video! I've felt the same way coming out of my rib fracture (downhill mountain biking crash, landed on my head and shoulder, fractured second rib, minor concussion, and just a sprained wrist). I've built my life around moving my body and a lot of my meaning comes from that. Recovering from this has been as much mental as physical. Ugh, getting there. Out 4 weeks and still feeling flare ups. Ready to get back into the triathlon training and all the exercise in the sunshine. Really appreciate you sharing your experience!
I'm sorry to hear about your injury Trisha. It's sound like you are pretty fit if you were training for a triathlon. That baseline fitness and your healthy lifestyle will serve you well as you recover. Stick with it and listen to your body. You got this!! I'm here if you have any questions. Good luck.
Hi, this is really helpful. I crashed in a crit almost 2 weeks ago and landed on my ribs; not broken but bruised them bad. Before the race I was training about 350-400 miles a week, now just 25 miles at moderate speeds is difficult and painful. This vid helps put things in perspective; thank you!
I really relate to this as well! I was really ready to begin serious training for this cycling season, but crashed mtn biking and am totally out of commission. This was after a winter of Covid and another bad illness (and an ankle sprain). I've really learned the art of patience, as the alternative is depression and rage.
Thank you, can easily relate to the anger, just one broken rib, 5 weeks in and still struggling, have had moments thinking the chest pain is a heart attack, but if I compare myself to where I was I can see the little improvements. Sleeping however is a whole other story😧
Sorry to hear about the broken rib but I'm glad you are starting to see improvements. And yes, I remember trying to sleep, lol. Sending healing vibes your way. Thank you for reaching out. Sage
Great video man, fractured a rib falling on the water surface and I am really angry too because I was in a good training streak. This helps me to focus on what I thought would be best: let pain be your guide.
@phillgraaf how are you now? I biffed on my skateboard, like 3 days ago.. not sure I broke anything, just sore.. gonna try running today to see how I feel
Thanks Marvin. This was the worst injury I have ever sustained. Kinda changed my outlook on a lot of things. Hopefully 2021 will be better and I can get back to form.
@@TrailSage I'm sure you will my friend. Just to be able to come back strong despite of the injuries just shows a lot about your patience and determination. 2021 is your year!
I injured my ribs by getting kneed during sparring in Mui Tai. I was just getting into having a consistent workout routine of lifting weights and training. I completely understand how it can feel depressing and degrading not being able to workout consistently especially with summer around the corner. But hey, we once we come back it’ll be better than ever.
I just had almost the exact same thing happen. Got kneed by my nephew actually just light sparing after being out of action due to a Rheumatoid Auto Immune disorder. I was just starting to feel better after changing my diet and at 40 I probably shouldn't have been messing around with somebody who's 22 and built like a brick shit house. It was more or less just slap fighting but when he threw up the knee I was moving forward and walked right into it which made it a lot worse. Wondering how long it took you to heal because I'm on day 8 right now and it feels worse than it did three or four days ago.
@@acktionjackson666 hi. How did your recovery go? I’ma couple of days into getting 2 fractured ribs following sparring. Really frustrated about the prospect of a long recovery. Any insight into what to expect would be very much appreciated.
The part when you mention how uncomfortable a broken rib is versus a sharp pain, that’s EXACTLY what it is for me!!!! Two days ago, at 49, i sparred with a good professional!!! My third time apart in 21 years. Was doing well until that shit that broke my 9 & 10 rib. Didn’t know at that moment. Sparred one more round after!!!! The following morning, i did a 6 mile job. It wasn’t as fast as usual!!!! This morning, did a 4 mile jog!!!! Same thing!!!! No sharp pain!!!! Just uncomfortable!!!! Came from the doctor earlier today!!!! No boxing 🥊 for five weeks minimum!!!! UGHHHH 🤦🏾♂️!!!! Oh well!!!! It’s a battle wound!!!! GREAT lesson for me!!!! First time for me!!!!
Ugh that sucks Bryon, but I am glad you caught it early. Bummer you can't spar for a while but a least you can still get in some workouts if you don't mind the pain.
Bro I literally did the same thing.. 3 weeks ago I took a big shot sparring and it took my breathe away.... Did another 2 rounds but had to pull out as I couldnt even throw my jab... Next day was painful af, took a week off and it felt good so went back to the gym and did bag work and running for 2 weeks... Felt OK... Last night I coughed drinking some water and fucked them up again.. Now I'm worse pain than when it first started. So I guess i have to rest properly... Gutted was on such a role with my training and had my next fight in 3 weeks but looks like I'm gunna have to pull it.... I feel your pain bro, literally.. Boxing is love. Boxing is life.. Hope you heal quick
Same thing - recurring rib injury from sparring and I’m supposed to have a fight in 6 weeks. I ran last night and I felt ok. But this morning I can’t put my clothes on without pain. I’m also cutting right now so not having training while cutting weight is going to suck.
got a few broken ribs right now, hopefully at the tail end of the injury tho... havent worked out in a few weeks and yeah i can relate to the feeling down and depressed part... everyday i try to ease back into it and so far so good... theres not too many videos on this topic and this one was done very well, thanks for the encouragement.
Sorry to hear this, but I am glad you are on the road to recovery. Once the discomfort goes away and you can begin to do things again it gets better. Keep your mental game in check as much as possible. Stay well.
@@TrailSage i got one fractured rib because i had an accident on motorcycle just waiting for it to heal thank the lord just road rash an one cracked rib god is good an speedy recovery to everyone
Thanks for this video. I got into a motorcycle accident four days ago and broke five ribs. Even though my exercise routines has been completely in the dumps, I am looking for ways to improve my healing, recover lung capacity, etc. This really gives me ideas for discussions with my doctor. And I will be getting back on the bike -- both motorized and road.
That sucks Brian, glad you are ok otherwise. Def consult your doctor and listen to your body. You will be back riding before you know it. Thanks for the comment.
😮This sounds very familiar indeed! Currently at 12 weeks post rib fractures (6 of them, c3-c8, all displaced) ...plus broken collar bone and broken scapula. Some very dark periods but getting to stage of short runs and 30 min turbo rides, so feeling more positive now.
Yikes! That sounds terrible Dan, but I'm glad that you are on the mend. Keep those positive vibes going and you'll be back at it in no time. Good luck, Sage.
@@drdanthelizzyman This was over 3 years ago for me, but my memory is, I was back on my mountain bike by week 8. However, confidence is something I continue to struggle with even to this day.
thanks for your post... very timely. Just broke ribs falling off my Onewheel. Was getting into the routine of running and Onewheeling ea day. Definitely feeling the need to train harder once I can. On week one right now. Finally, our gyms are opening up soon too. Thanks again
Ugh that suck Phil, I'm sry to hear about the broken rib. Listen to your body, and when it's time, come back strong. I am glad the gyms are opening up too. Pulling for you brotha
You are my inspiration, after my little heavy workout with tyre, not that heavy just 2 days , I got chest pain and was diagnosed with chest pain with swollen ribs, now getting recovery slowly ,will get back to normal, was in depression , but one should listen to our body and tune it in our limits🤗😍 I can run normally in future days🙏 thanks for posting this video 😊
Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry to hear you are having chest pain Ashwini. Give your body plenty of time to recover. You will get back soon enough.
@@TrailSage sir it's been 3 weeks I got injection from ortho doc, today I went for walk it pains little I'm upset it's making me to. Overthink😭😭I have physical examination for police exam which consists 400 meter in 2 min, I was fit and able before this injury....not getting what to do.please suggest me something 🙏🙏
@@ashwinikundagol1165 Unfortunately I am not a doctor Ashwini so I do not want to suggest anything that might injure you more. Take the time to let your body heal, don't rush back and make it worse.
Ashwini, I can see that you are leaving comments on my videos, but when I click on them they do not appear. Very strange. I am not sure if UA-cam is blocking your comments but I am doing well. Thank you for watching.
I started training hard for a few months, eating well, running, and Thai boxing. I felt amazing. But then broke a rib in sparring. I am 3 weeks into the recovery; being down and eating constantly is a real thing; going from fit to being injured so much is such a shock. I am hoping to get out running in a few days to get me back in a good mindset, but I am told it might be 4-5 weeks before I can spar again, which sucks.
I'm so sorry to read this. I hope you get a quick and full recovery. I know you want to spar, but def give the ribs the time they need to heal. You will be back at it before you know it. Good luck.
I really appreciate your video. I suffered a pretty horrible rib injury a few weeks ago, and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced, after a life of sports injuries (including two big concussions). The worst part of all is the direct impact from my mtn. bike bars hit ribs 2 and 3, and my heart went crazy. I think it was the adrenaline and the pain--it checked out as not causing a bleed or a bruise to it, but damn it was scary. The only thing I can currently do is walk. It's so depressing as I had a couple of illnesses that took me out of commission this winter and an ankle sprain from trail running. I thought I was in the clear. And then this slow moving mtn. bike crash happened..... I wish there were more videos out there on rib injuries. They are so painful and hard to manage.
I'm sorry to hear about all the setbacks and injuries. I'm glad you found my video helpful and I hope you get a full recovery. It's been years since this injury for me and I'm proud to say I have made a complete comeback (well except for my confidence, lol). Thanks for the feedback.
I’m glad you’re being smart with your recovery & training, those are some major injuries. I too have been there, L1 fracture 5yrs ago, crashed on a trail I’ve prob ridden 500 times, just clipped a tree, dumb mistake! also fractured some ribs long ago. Good to see you getting some training in, be patient & stay safe!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have 2 non-displaced fractures in a single rib - injured 6 months ago during boxing sparring. I continued training in boxing and jujitsu after my injury as initially I assumed it was just a soft tissue injury. I wish there was a better guide than "let pain be your guide" because my rib doesn't seem to hurt during training much - even the initial injury - but the evening after or next day I feel it. Apparently I have been too active to allow it to heal over the last 6 months. Now I've had a CT scan and know exactly what the injury is I have been told to take a miniuum of 6 weeks off any exerise that involves too much rib movement - so no jujitsu or boxing - I am hoping I can still run ... my rib injury is at the back and side so my breathing has never been impacted. I realise that's lucky but I wish my rib would communicate a little more so I could feel confident in knowing how little / much to train without having to stop everything!
Hey Sharla, I can't believe you were training jujitsu and boxing on a broken rib, you must have a great tolerance for pain. I am glad you got it properly diagnosed so now you can begin the process of healing. I know 6 weeks sucks, but you should be able to run by week 4. But don't push it too hard, and give your body the time it needs to heal completely. Good luck. Sage
Thanks Sage. It Is realistic to expect 4 weeks down time for proper healing. I think I injured the rib in an area less painful and they are non-displaced fractures which are probably less severe than yours. The time off without any exercise to release the stress of the day is going to hurt more! It is nice to see you have survived the journey so I will try to remain positive!
Great to hear you let yourself be flexible with the training, it's so important to listen to your body. I hope you heal up soon & get back to full fitness 👍🏃
Broke 2 x vertebrae 6 ribs and my pelvis. I'm day 11 of recovery and can move and cook and clean to reasonable level. I'm just resting as much as possible as I have a boys weekend away in 14 days and want to be as close to fighting fit as possible
On the 16th January this year (2021), I broke or fractured 13 bones including 9 ribs in a horse riding accident, and had a punctured lung and a dislocated hip as well! My bones are healed, but I still have nerve pain (damage?) I'm about 90% better, but some days still feel completely wiped out! Other days, I'm fine, but then the pain kicks in again and I have to lie down. Prior to my accident I was a very fit person. Rehab has definitely been a challenge, but I'm getting there...
So sorry to hear about your accident. Have you looked into an Air Vest? I recently broke 6 ribs coming off my horse. Looking to purchase a Hit Air vest
Solid video. I just broke 3 ribs myself and I'm going stir crazy. Been looking for videos and info on how to slowly get back into regular workouts. My primary routine currently consists of calisthenics and other bodyweight movements. Hoping to try some light isometrics holds soon, but I'm still only in week 1 so I'm afraid of pushing too hard, too soon. Great video, really dig your conversational style and advice!
I'm sorry to hear about your injury Brett. Give yourself ample time before you start anything strenuous. Your body will let you know when you are ready. Good luck with the recovery.
I broke 5 ribs in feb 2021 and had a partial lung collapse....I was running 9 mi per day prior to injury and so I had to stop running and working out for 6 weeks ....I didn’t want to repuncture my lungs...I ended up doing elliptical in week2
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling Ruchik. Ribs take a long time to fully heal. It took me 8 weeks to feel completely healed, but I was pretty active throughout my recovery process. Everyone's body is different so make sure you listen to what yours is telling you. Get plenty of rest and eat healthy. When you are able, try to move around. It will be uncomfortable, but it's important to get the body moving. Just don't over do it, and start slow. Good luck. Sage
Fighting a first rib stress fracture... 25 days of hell so far. i can't believe how bad it must be for you. I am depressed as I can't lift weights...all i can do is walk now... yuk
Fractured my right anterolateral 9th rib Sunday night, doctor confirmed it on Tuesday. That Tuesday night I said fk that, I’m gonna go by feeling. I went the gym the next day, to test my pain tolerance. So I went through my usual 15 minute warmup before I start any workout. 1 minute plank👍 30 second side plank both sides👍 10 front/back leg swings👍 10 side leg swings👍 20- 12kg kettlebell swings👍 10- single leg glute raises👍 Throughout the workout I had pain on my right side, but I just adjusted my body every time to find a comfortable position. I actually felt good when I was done. So I said fk it again, let’s go through the whole process a second time. 💥 boom I finished it again, plus I added a 1 minute wall stand. I actually felt much better than I did on Monday & Tuesday when I slept in bed all day. Even the walk to my car, the drive to the gym, the walk to the gym was uncomfortable. Just gotta adjust your body,whenever you fell the pain. Just get out there and see how far you can push it without hurting yourself. I feel much better than when I was babying my injury all day.
Nice Aaron. Sorry to hear about your injury but I'm glad you found a way to deal with it. Take it easy where you can and continue listening to your body. You don't want to prevent a full recovery or make it worse. Good luck.
Yes. The first time I broke my wrist was a non union in my scaphoid. Required surgery and a screw to set it. I’m sorry to hear about your injury Jo, good luck in your comeback.
Second day going off my bicycle. Hit the ground hard. Avoiding hospitals and doctors Got UA-cam I'm in a foreign country so not welcome. The last time it happened going off the bike. The hospital said I had cancer and 3 months to live. 5 years ago The cut out thumb size piece of lung. For nothing. My fault for having health insurance. 40,000 for nothing That why I am checking out UA-cam alone without anyone to help. Just time. And thanks for the advice to control the massive pain.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles currently and in the past. I am not a doctor so I can't give you any advice, I can only share how my experience went and what worked for me. Please do lots of research before doing anything that might make your situation worse. Good luck.
I have recently broken 7 ribs of my right side and it's 12 days by now.... No clue by when can i even think of doing half of this exercise.... As of now it looks minimum 4 months more time to recovery....
Ugh, sorry to hear this new Abdul. Give your body plenty of time to heal. You will be back before you know it. As for exercise, you will know when the time is right to start. It is gonna suck but stick with it. Good luck.
How you managed to do it? I’m a lifter.. I’m worry to squat bench and deadlift and ohp. Doctor recommend to off gym.. but you know…I sat at home for a week… depressed and lose momentum…I know what to do if I’m in the gym
Hello sir I’m from India Your video is so helpful for me I broke my 6 L ribs & I’m on my bed Couldn’t move at all… I workout but from past 16 days I’m not able to…what should I do to hit my gym again please guide me would be so helpful for me
Sorry to hear about your injury Aly. Check with your doctor first before hitting the gym. When you do start working out keep it light and listen to your body. Being uncomfortable is ok but if you feel pain don't push it. Good luck.
I thought it took about 6 weeks for bones to mend and you would have to be reasonably careful until then, didn't expect that you would be running after 3 weeks.
Hey John, I was a bit surprised as well, but as I understand it, there is not much they can do for rib injuries. The doctors just said it will be uncomfortable and not to take any hits to the rib area while recovering.
Do not workout with a bruised rib. The pain will come back 10 times worse. no working out for a couple of weeks is the best advice. (I worked through the pain and had to pause workout for a month)
Sorry you experienced so much pain Phil. Maybe bruised ribs are worse than broken ones? Sometimes muscle and ligament damage takes longer to heal. I was able to workout on two broken ribs with only minor discomfort after a few weeks. Thanks for sharing your feedback
Can u share the timeline on when did u get back on training after u injury and how long it take to get back 100%. I broke my collarbone n fracture rib a week ago did the surgery on the collarbone, hoping on the trainer 3 time a week 1-2hr each time. But do feel more pain on the ribs or lung after the day of training.
Hey Eric, I'm sry to hear about your injury. I stayed away from any training for 3 weeks and started on the trainer in week 4. It took me about 6 weeks to fully recover and get back to normal training. If you are feeling pain a day after training in your ribs you may want to give yourself some more time to heal. Being uncomfortable during training is one thing, feeling pain a day after is another story. Give your body plenty of rest.
11 of the 14 ribs that connect to my sternum and 2 false ribs dislocate roughly 100 or more times put together, every day for the past 7 years. They also re-fracture frequently, and I have 5 non-union fractures on my sides. Doctors say none of this will heal and am now unable to work. I haven't gone to the gym because of all of this, but am really wanting to tone my legs without involving the chest and making my pain worse. Any leg workouts that you did during your rib injury that you could do?
Thanks for this video. I broke ribs t 10- t 12 about 5 weeks ago. Been on the elliptical for 2 weeks. I think ready for light jogging. Should I go ahead and do it?
Thanks for watching Doc. I'm sorry to hear about your broken ribs. Regarding jogging, if you are not experiencing trouble breathing on the elliptical you could give it a shot but note, the jogging will be a lot more impact on your body so it may hurt more. My doctor told me to wait 3 weeks before attempting jogging. Of course I am not a health professional, so you should prob reach out to them if you are really concerned. Good luck.
@@maathlove hey Amar, i was fully recovered by the end of 6 week mark, but discomfort is normal. However, if u mean you still have pain then you may not be completely healed. Check with your Doctor if u are unsure.
@@maathlove Amar I am not a doctor and I don't know how severe your injuries are or what other complications you may have sustained so I can't answer those questions for you. Your best bet is to consult your physician.
Hey Eric. No, I have not had any lingering issues with my ribs or back. After 6 weeks I was good-to-go, of course my fitness level coming back was a whole different issue, lol. Thanks for watching man.
I only fractured one rib a few days ago and although it mostly hurts when sitting, laying down or coughing do you think it would be ok to do upper body in the gym with light weight?
Hey Tracy, sorry to hear about your fractured rib. I'm not a doctor, and I have no idea how bad your fracture is, but if it only happened a few days ago it sounds a little early to be putting any stress or pressure on it.
It's my 7th week now and my ribs still aren't joined. My biggest fear is non-union. Did your ribs heal completely and did you have them scanned to confirm it? Thanks.
Sorry for the confusion, I started running after 3 weeks of recovery. Also my doctor did not tell me to run, he said I was allowed to run. The decision to run was my own. Hope that clears things up. Thank you for watching.
@@TrailSagewhat do u mean by 3 weeks of recovery? Do u mean 3rd week from ur injury? Or u mean you’re injured and u rest for ‘some time’ first before you start recovery training, and if so what’s that ‘some time’?
0:04 ❤How long Bruised ribs heal and do they become same as before after healing.Mine is paining even after 100 days.Its bit inflammed on top of bone and when I press on it its tender.Whatis maximum no of months for pain free.
Hey Piyush. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. Regarding the pain, broken ribs should be healed in 6-8 weeks, so you might have something more serious going on. You may want to re-visit the doctor and have it checked out.
@@TrailSage i visited tow doctor one said at end of five weeks healing is going on but for you its slow , he said if u don't have much pain no need for ct scan at the end of eight weeks i visited another doctor and he took x ray no fracture visible at the end of three months pain is ribs became less but Muscles around ribs still paining i can feel rope like Muscle or hard tissue on top of ribs , and that compounder in clinic said it will take three months to become soft, still at night when i sleep at that side its start paining, my father is saying its normal to get pain forever even with minor injury and u should not complain, and the doctor is saying injury is almost healer but I am not sure why that muscle still pain and i have hard lump like muscle in injury
@@piyushkumar-me1nb Most of my pain was diminished by week 4. After that it was just about managing my discomfort. Sounds like you have something more serious going on, so listen to your body and don't push it.
Fuck that. I broke my ribs in mma, and after less than a full week at home I feel AWFUL. It was only a month in that I FINALLY started to get consistent because I was addicted. The months worth of progress I made in my fitness so far is NOT about to be undone by sitting around doing nothing! Wanna know what else is interesting? When there’s no workout, it feels like there’s no incentive to eat clean. It’s all connected
@@shredgod6394 Excellent points Mark. There is also the benefits of increasing blood flow to help the healing process. I am a firm believer is staying active as well. Thank you for your comment and I hope you are doing well in your recovery process.
Thank you for the feedback. I didn't mention this in the video, but this was my third injury that year. Prior to this broken back and ribs I broke my wrists twice. So that's why I was so bummed. As for going Vegan, I'm glad you found something that works well for you.
@@TrailSage Thanks TRAILSAGE. I've had so many broken or bruised ribs my whole life; I have 'em right now. Thx again for writing. Stay happy and healthy. ☺
If you go on a mostly meat based diet you won't crave junk food either and you'll get much more bioavailable protein and vitamins that your body is going to need to heal. So yeah going on a vegan diet with a broken rib is probably one of the dumbest things you can possibly do.
Thanks for sharing your experience recovering from your rib injury through each of the phases. Your advice resonates and makes sense. Agree there is usually not a lot of useful of online advice. Ultimately, listening to our body, being conservative and taking days off when necessary is the best approach.
Well said. I should listen to my body more, lol
There just isn't. Rib injuries are a vacuum of literally no information online. Thanks for this!
Thank you for this! I’m currently healing from a broken rib. I’m anxious to be back in the gym and going strong. I’m just not there yet. But each day is a little better.
I'm sorry to hear about your broken rib Shelly. Hang in there and you will be back in he gym in no time. Just listen to you body and take it easy to start. Good luck, Sage.
Likewise. Took a nasty spill on my motorcycle the other day

12 days after my cycling accident, I’m looking at staring on the road back. Broke 6 ribs, pneumothorax, partial lung collapse and severed a tendon in my L hand. Thanks for sharing your experience, picked up some useful information and ideas.
Oh my, that is terrible Sophie. I am glad you are making a full recovery and getting to doing what you love. Best of luck in your journey back.
@@TrailSage How did you break your ribs?
@Kenneth Brown Thx Kenneth, I did. I am pretty much fully recovered (except for my confidence, lol) and I am back to making videos.
I'm same as you, Sophie - 6 fractured ribs, collapsed lung, surgery - hockey collision. It's been 2.5 months and I'm not able to play golf yet. Some posts I've read suggest golf not possible for a year. You've been a year and wondering what your pain is, if any, and if you've been able to return to all activities.
12 days after all that and you're already trying to get back out there? Dam dude. You're a trooper lol.
Thank you for making this video, currently dealing with two fractured ribs. It’s been 3 weeks and I decided give running a shot again and was discouraged seeing how bad it still felt. But watching your video gives me more perspective, thanks again and hope your recovery goes smoothly.
Sorry to hear about your fractured ribs Jose. I remember how uncomfortable that was, especially when trying to sleep. Good luck with your recovery. I'm glad my video helped.
Now this is my fifth week ! No work out still some pain scare of running ! Should I run even with some pain ! I start to gain some weight 😢
4 weeks in after breaking 2 ribs in a bike crash. Had done around three 4km walks since, the first one just a week after. Now, tonight I'll sneak out for a short slow jog and see how it goes. Glad I came across your video, man.
Right on. I'm sorry to hear about your injury but it sounds like you are on the road to recovery (no pun intended, lol). Listen to your body and take it slow. You got this!
While I am losing my weight, I had caught such a bad cold and were broken my 8th rib due to coughing. It has been 4weeks now. And I am going to run a full marathon upcoming Sunday. I hope I could finish the race. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm sorry to hear about your rib Kim. Good luck in the marathon. And thank you for the comment. Sage
I just broke 6 ribs ,L5 and right clavicle also punctured right lung. Its been 14 days since I hurt myself and I am starting to feel better pain wise. Sleeping was the most difficult process and I finally am able to sleep almost the whole night. I did this on my mountain bike. Thanks for making the video!
Holy crap! Glad you are feeling better. Give yourself plenty of time getting back. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!
Really appreciate your video! I've felt the same way coming out of my rib fracture (downhill mountain biking crash, landed on my head and shoulder, fractured second rib, minor concussion, and just a sprained wrist). I've built my life around moving my body and a lot of my meaning comes from that. Recovering from this has been as much mental as physical. Ugh, getting there. Out 4 weeks and still feeling flare ups. Ready to get back into the triathlon training and all the exercise in the sunshine. Really appreciate you sharing your experience!
I'm sorry to hear about your injury Trisha. It's sound like you are pretty fit if you were training for a triathlon. That baseline fitness and your healthy lifestyle will serve you well as you recover. Stick with it and listen to your body. You got this!! I'm here if you have any questions. Good luck.
Hi, this is really helpful. I crashed in a crit almost 2 weeks ago and landed on my ribs; not broken but bruised them bad. Before the race I was training about 350-400 miles a week, now just 25 miles at moderate speeds is difficult and painful. This vid helps put things in perspective; thank you!
Bummed to hear you are hurt, but I'm glad the video helped. Good luck on your recovery! Thanks for commenting.
I really relate to this as well! I was really ready to begin serious training for this cycling season, but crashed mtn biking and am totally out of commission. This was after a winter of Covid and another bad illness (and an ankle sprain). I've really learned the art of patience, as the alternative is depression and rage.
Thanks for posting this very clear and honest let pain be your guide👍
No problem. Thanks for watching Ian!
Thank you, can easily relate to the anger, just one broken rib, 5 weeks in and still struggling, have had moments thinking the chest pain is a heart attack, but if I compare myself to where I was I can see the little improvements. Sleeping however is a whole other story😧
Sorry to hear about the broken rib but I'm glad you are starting to see improvements. And yes, I remember trying to sleep, lol. Sending healing vibes your way. Thank you for reaching out. Sage
Great video man, fractured a rib falling on the water surface and I am really angry too because I was in a good training streak.
This helps me to focus on what I thought would be best: let pain be your guide.
That sounds painful Phill. Give your body a little rest time before you jump back into it. Good luck brotha!
@@TrailSage Thank you my friend, will do.
@phillgraaf how are you now? I biffed on my skateboard, like 3 days ago.. not sure I broke anything, just sore.. gonna try running today to see how I feel
@@stevenrobert6992 hey my friend, it took me a couple of weeks but I am back to normal, can't feel anything of it anymore.
So nice to see you back out there trail running/riding again man. The come back is real! 💪🏼
Thanks Marvin. This was the worst injury I have ever sustained. Kinda changed my outlook on a lot of things. Hopefully 2021 will be better and I can get back to form.
@@TrailSage I'm sure you will my friend. Just to be able to come back strong despite of the injuries just shows a lot about your patience and determination. 2021 is your year!
I injured my ribs by getting kneed during sparring in Mui Tai. I was just getting into having a consistent workout routine of lifting weights and training. I completely understand how it can feel depressing and degrading not being able to workout consistently especially with summer around the corner. But hey, we once we come back it’ll be better than ever.
Ugh that sucks, Mui Tai is a tough discipline, but I like your attitude! I have made a full recovery and I wish the same for you.
@@TrailSage thank you sir. I will definitely be taking your advice into consideration
I just had almost the exact same thing happen. Got kneed by my nephew actually just light sparing after being out of action due to a Rheumatoid Auto Immune disorder. I was just starting to feel better after changing my diet and at 40 I probably shouldn't have been messing around with somebody who's 22 and built like a brick shit house. It was more or less just slap fighting but when he threw up the knee I was moving forward and walked right into it which made it a lot worse. Wondering how long it took you to heal because I'm on day 8 right now and it feels worse than it did three or four days ago.
@@acktionjackson666 hi. How did your recovery go? I’ma couple of days into getting 2 fractured ribs following sparring. Really frustrated about the prospect of a long recovery. Any insight into what to expect would be very much appreciated.
I'd like some tips too.. Im not sure I broke them but feel kinda sore
The part when you mention how uncomfortable a broken rib is versus a sharp pain, that’s EXACTLY what it is for me!!!!
Two days ago, at 49, i sparred with a good professional!!! My third time apart in 21 years. Was doing well until that shit that broke my 9 & 10 rib. Didn’t know at that moment. Sparred one more round after!!!!
The following morning, i did a 6 mile job. It wasn’t as fast as usual!!!! This morning, did a 4 mile jog!!!! Same thing!!!! No sharp pain!!!! Just uncomfortable!!!! Came from the doctor earlier today!!!! No boxing 🥊 for five weeks minimum!!!! UGHHHH 🤦🏾♂️!!!! Oh well!!!! It’s a battle wound!!!! GREAT lesson for me!!!! First time for me!!!!
Ugh that sucks Bryon, but I am glad you caught it early. Bummer you can't spar for a while but a least you can still get in some workouts if you don't mind the pain.
@@TrailSage Thanks. And as crazy as this sounds, i rather like the pain. Though it’s aggravating, i like 👍 it at the same time.
Bro I literally did the same thing.. 3 weeks ago I took a big shot sparring and it took my breathe away.... Did another 2 rounds but had to pull out as I couldnt even throw my jab...
Next day was painful af, took a week off and it felt good so went back to the gym and did bag work and running for 2 weeks... Felt OK... Last night I coughed drinking some water and fucked them up again.. Now I'm worse pain than when it first started. So I guess i have to rest properly... Gutted was on such a role with my training and had my next fight in 3 weeks but looks like I'm gunna have to pull it.... I feel your pain bro, literally.. Boxing is love. Boxing is life.. Hope you heal quick
@@Marleytotherescue Sry to hear the bad news Jake. Heal up quick.
Same thing - recurring rib injury from sparring and I’m supposed to have a fight in 6 weeks. I ran last night and I felt ok. But this morning I can’t put my clothes on without pain. I’m also cutting right now so not having training while cutting weight is going to suck.
got a few broken ribs right now, hopefully at the tail end of the injury tho... havent worked out in a few weeks and yeah i can relate to the feeling down and depressed part... everyday i try to ease back into it and so far so good... theres not too many videos on this topic and this one was done very well, thanks for the encouragement.
Sorry to hear this, but I am glad you are on the road to recovery. Once the discomfort goes away and you can begin to do things again it gets better. Keep your mental game in check as much as possible. Stay well.
@@TrailSage i got one fractured rib because i had an accident on motorcycle just waiting for it to heal thank the lord just road rash an one cracked rib god is good an speedy recovery to everyone
@@ceciliolopezjr7390 I'm glad it was not more serious Cecilio. Heal up soon.
@@TrailSage thank you man god bless!
Thanks for this video. I got into a motorcycle accident four days ago and broke five ribs. Even though my exercise routines has been completely in the dumps, I am looking for ways to improve my healing, recover lung capacity, etc. This really gives me ideas for discussions with my doctor. And I will be getting back on the bike -- both motorized and road.
That sucks Brian, glad you are ok otherwise. Def consult your doctor and listen to your body. You will be back riding before you know it. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for this video
You're welcome. If you are dealing with an injury I wish you a speedy recovery.
😮This sounds very familiar indeed! Currently at 12 weeks post rib fractures (6 of them, c3-c8, all displaced) ...plus broken collar bone and broken scapula. Some very dark periods but getting to stage of short runs and 30 min turbo rides, so feeling more positive now.
Yikes! That sounds terrible Dan, but I'm glad that you are on the mend. Keep those positive vibes going and you'll be back at it in no time. Good luck, Sage.
Thanks @TrailSage , it was good to listen to some familiar experiences... how long was it before you felt "fully recovered"?
@@drdanthelizzyman This was over 3 years ago for me, but my memory is, I was back on my mountain bike by week 8. However, confidence is something I continue to struggle with even to this day.
Thank you ! That was very helpful. I will try now to go for walks again.
No worries Marnie. Glad I could offer some insight. Good luck with your recovery!
thanks for your post... very timely. Just broke ribs falling off my Onewheel. Was getting into the routine of running and Onewheeling ea day. Definitely feeling the need to train harder once I can. On week one right now. Finally, our gyms are opening up soon too. Thanks again
Ugh that suck Phil, I'm sry to hear about the broken rib. Listen to your body, and when it's time, come back strong. I am glad the gyms are opening up too. Pulling for you brotha
You are my inspiration, after my little heavy workout with tyre, not that heavy just 2 days , I got chest pain and was diagnosed with chest pain with swollen ribs, now getting recovery slowly ,will get back to normal, was in depression , but one should listen to our body and tune it in our limits🤗😍 I can run normally in future days🙏 thanks for posting this video 😊
Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry to hear you are having chest pain Ashwini. Give your body plenty of time to recover. You will get back soon enough.
@@TrailSage sir it's been 3 weeks I got injection from ortho doc, today I went for walk it pains little I'm upset it's making me to. Overthink😭😭I have physical examination for police exam which consists 400 meter in 2 min, I was fit and able before this injury....not getting what to do.please suggest me something 🙏🙏
@@ashwinikundagol1165 Unfortunately I am not a doctor Ashwini so I do not want to suggest anything that might injure you more. Take the time to let your body heal, don't rush back and make it worse.
Ashwini, I can see that you are leaving comments on my videos, but when I click on them they do not appear. Very strange. I am not sure if UA-cam is blocking your comments but I am doing well. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for reflecting on your experience!!
Thank you Jeffrey!
I started training hard for a few months, eating well, running, and Thai boxing. I felt amazing. But then broke a rib in sparring. I am 3 weeks into the recovery; being down and eating constantly is a real thing; going from fit to being injured so much is such a shock. I am hoping to get out running in a few days to get me back in a good mindset, but I am told it might be 4-5 weeks before I can spar again, which sucks.
I'm so sorry to read this. I hope you get a quick and full recovery. I know you want to spar, but def give the ribs the time they need to heal. You will be back at it before you know it. Good luck.
I really appreciate your video. I suffered a pretty horrible rib injury a few weeks ago, and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced, after a life of sports injuries (including two big concussions). The worst part of all is the direct impact from my mtn. bike bars hit ribs 2 and 3, and my heart went crazy. I think it was the adrenaline and the pain--it checked out as not causing a bleed or a bruise to it, but damn it was scary.
The only thing I can currently do is walk. It's so depressing as I had a couple of illnesses that took me out of commission this winter and an ankle sprain from trail running. I thought I was in the clear. And then this slow moving mtn. bike crash happened.....
I wish there were more videos out there on rib injuries. They are so painful and hard to manage.
I'm sorry to hear about all the setbacks and injuries. I'm glad you found my video helpful and I hope you get a full recovery. It's been years since this injury for me and I'm proud to say I have made a complete comeback (well except for my confidence, lol). Thanks for the feedback.
I’m glad you’re being smart with your recovery & training, those are some major injuries. I too have been there, L1 fracture 5yrs ago, crashed on a trail I’ve prob ridden 500 times, just clipped a tree, dumb mistake! also fractured some ribs long ago. Good to see you getting some training in, be patient & stay safe!
Thx Jim. Its crazy how fragile our bodies can be. One small mistake can really put you in a bad place.
I crashed today when slebbing. I probably broke or bruised my ribs. How does a broken rib feel ?
Dig this. Thank you. Just broke 2 ribs and T2. I’ll implement this 🙏
Oh snap! Sending positive healing vibes. Hope you make a full recovery!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have 2 non-displaced fractures in a single rib - injured 6 months ago during boxing sparring. I continued training in boxing and jujitsu after my injury as initially I assumed it was just a soft tissue injury. I wish there was a better guide than "let pain be your guide" because my rib doesn't seem to hurt during training much - even the initial injury - but the evening after or next day I feel it. Apparently I have been too active to allow it to heal over the last 6 months. Now I've had a CT scan and know exactly what the injury is I have been told to take a miniuum of 6 weeks off any exerise that involves too much rib movement - so no jujitsu or boxing - I am hoping I can still run ... my rib injury is at the back and side so my breathing has never been impacted. I realise that's lucky but I wish my rib would communicate a little more so I could feel confident in knowing how little / much to train without having to stop everything!
Hey Sharla, I can't believe you were training jujitsu and boxing on a broken rib, you must have a great tolerance for pain. I am glad you got it properly diagnosed so now you can begin the process of healing. I know 6 weeks sucks, but you should be able to run by week 4. But don't push it too hard, and give your body the time it needs to heal completely. Good luck. Sage
Thanks Sage. It Is realistic to expect 4 weeks down time for proper healing. I think I injured the rib in an area less painful and they are non-displaced fractures which are probably less severe than yours. The time off without any exercise to release the stress of the day is going to hurt more! It is nice to see you have survived the journey so I will try to remain positive!
Great to hear you let yourself be flexible with the training, it's so important to listen to your body. I hope you heal up soon & get back to full fitness 👍🏃
Thanks. I am almost there. I just watched your Calf Injury video, injuries are just unavoidable in our sport I suppose.
@@TrailSage That calf took forever to heal! Super frustrating, but we heal eventually :)
Thank you for THIS 💕🙏💕
Right on. Thx for watching Shirley!
Broke 2 x vertebrae 6 ribs and my pelvis. I'm day 11 of recovery and can move and cook and clean to reasonable level.
I'm just resting as much as possible as I have a boys weekend away in 14 days and want to be as close to fighting fit as possible
Holy smokes! Hope you are healed up by the time your boys weekend comes around.
@@TrailSage if there is any god, he shall heal me so I can spend a much needed weekend AWAY from the wife 🙄
thank you very relatable
Thx for watching Andre
On the 16th January this year (2021), I broke or fractured 13 bones including 9 ribs in a horse riding accident, and had a punctured lung and a dislocated hip as well! My bones are healed, but I still have nerve pain (damage?) I'm about 90% better, but some days still feel completely wiped out! Other days, I'm fine, but then the pain kicks in again and I have to lie down. Prior to my accident I was a very fit person. Rehab has definitely been a challenge, but I'm getting there...
Oh my Guineith, that is some serious stuff. I hope you make a full recovery and get back to where you were. Stay positive and keep pushing.
So sorry to hear about your accident. Have you looked into an Air Vest? I recently broke 6 ribs coming off my horse. Looking to purchase a Hit Air vest
Solid video. I just broke 3 ribs myself and I'm going stir crazy. Been looking for videos and info on how to slowly get back into regular workouts. My primary routine currently consists of calisthenics and other bodyweight movements. Hoping to try some light isometrics holds soon, but I'm still only in week 1 so I'm afraid of pushing too hard, too soon. Great video, really dig your conversational style and advice!
I'm sorry to hear about your injury Brett. Give yourself ample time before you start anything strenuous. Your body will let you know when you are ready. Good luck with the recovery.
Thank you!!
You're welcome Ana.
I broke 5 ribs in feb 2021 and had a partial lung collapse....I was running 9 mi per day prior to injury and so I had to stop running and working out for 6 weeks ....I didn’t want to repuncture my lungs...I ended up doing elliptical in week2
Holy crap Mark, sry to hear about your injury. Are you fully recovered at this point?
@@TrailSage yes thankfully...how about you?
@@markpatrick5246 Yup fully recovered, although still working on flexibility in my wrists
Thanks for sharing, I am dealing with a broken rib, how much time did you take to heal? 4 weeks in, I am struggling
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling Ruchik. Ribs take a long time to fully heal. It took me 8 weeks to feel completely healed, but I was pretty active throughout my recovery process.
Everyone's body is different so make sure you listen to what yours is telling you. Get plenty of rest and eat healthy. When you are able, try to move around. It will be uncomfortable, but it's important to get the body moving. Just don't over do it, and start slow. Good luck. Sage
@@TrailSage Thanks for the encouraging words
Thanks for sharing your experience I’m going through the same injury ! Have they put chest drainage?
I'm sorry to hear about your injury. No, I did not need any drainage.
Fighting a first rib stress fracture... 25 days of hell so far. i can't believe how bad it must be for you. I am depressed as I can't lift weights...all i can do is walk now... yuk
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. It gets better I promise! Listen to your body and keep your head up. Sending positive vibes your way.
Fractured my right anterolateral 9th rib Sunday night, doctor confirmed it on Tuesday.
That Tuesday night I said fk that, I’m gonna go by feeling. I went the gym the next day, to test my pain tolerance. So I went through my usual 15 minute warmup before I start any workout.
1 minute plank👍
30 second side plank both sides👍
10 front/back leg swings👍
10 side leg swings👍
20- 12kg kettlebell swings👍
10- single leg glute raises👍
Throughout the workout I had pain on my right side, but I just adjusted my body every time to find a comfortable position. I actually felt good when I was done. So I said fk it again, let’s go through the whole process a second time. 💥 boom I finished it again, plus I added a 1 minute wall stand.
I actually felt much better than I did on Monday & Tuesday when I slept in bed all day. Even the walk to my car, the drive to the gym, the walk to the gym was uncomfortable. Just gotta adjust your body,whenever you fell the pain.
Just get out there and see how far you can push it without hurting yourself. I feel much better than when I was babying my injury all day.
Nice Aaron. Sorry to hear about your injury but I'm glad you found a way to deal with it. Take it easy where you can and continue listening to your body. You don't want to prevent a full recovery or make it worse. Good luck.
@@TrailSage I appreciate you. Thanks
What type of fracture? Mine is non union. Hopefully it will get better so i could get back to running. You inspired me to get back.
Yes. The first time I broke my wrist was a non union in my scaphoid. Required surgery and a screw to set it. I’m sorry to hear about your injury Jo, good luck in your comeback.
Second day going off my bicycle.
Hit the ground hard.
Avoiding hospitals and doctors
Got UA-cam
I'm in a foreign country so not welcome.
The last time it happened going off the bike.
The hospital said I had cancer and 3 months to live.
5 years ago
The cut out thumb size piece of lung.
For nothing.
My fault for having health insurance.
40,000 for nothing
That why I am checking out UA-cam alone without anyone to help.
Just time.
And thanks for the advice to control the massive pain.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles currently and in the past. I am not a doctor so I can't give you any advice, I can only share how my experience went and what worked for me. Please do lots of research before doing anything that might make your situation worse. Good luck.
With broken ribs I can barely do 1 push-ups it just hurts so much
I would def not push it then. Take it easy and let your body heal.
I have recently broken 7 ribs of my right side and it's 12 days by now....
No clue by when can i even think of doing half of this exercise....
As of now it looks minimum 4 months more time to recovery....
Ugh, sorry to hear this new Abdul. Give your body plenty of time to heal. You will be back before you know it. As for exercise, you will know when the time is right to start. It is gonna suck but stick with it. Good luck.
How you managed to do it? I’m a lifter.. I’m worry to squat bench and deadlift and ohp. Doctor recommend to off gym.. but you know…I sat at home for a week… depressed and lose momentum…I know what to do if I’m in the gym
I can't give you any advice on lifting with broken ribs Yan. Listen to your Doctor and then make a decision on what is best for your body.
Hello sir
I’m from India
Your video is so helpful for me
I broke my 6 L ribs & I’m on my bed
Couldn’t move at all…
I workout but from past 16 days I’m not able to…what should I do to hit my gym again please guide me would be so helpful for me
Sorry to hear about your injury Aly. Check with your doctor first before hitting the gym. When you do start working out keep it light and listen to your body. Being uncomfortable is ok but if you feel pain don't push it. Good luck.
This telling me man up xD I’m in pain healing and breathing laying down jumping x,,D
Hope it gets better for you. Cheers
@@TrailSage thank you for the words of comfort
I thought it took about 6 weeks for bones to mend and you would have to be reasonably careful until then, didn't expect that you would be running after 3 weeks.
Hey John, I was a bit surprised as well, but as I understand it, there is not much they can do for rib injuries. The doctors just said it will be uncomfortable and not to take any hits to the rib area while recovering.
@@TrailSage Yeah, they must be held in place pretty well.
I got my ribs broken a couple of days ago
I've been trying to find out if I can still workout
Would wait at least 4 weeks before doing anything. Ask you doctor if you are unsure.
Do not workout with a bruised rib. The pain will come back 10 times worse. no working out for a couple of weeks is the best advice. (I worked through the pain and had to pause workout for a month)
Sorry you experienced so much pain Phil. Maybe bruised ribs are worse than broken ones? Sometimes muscle and ligament damage takes longer to heal. I was able to workout on two broken ribs with only minor discomfort after a few weeks. Thanks for sharing your feedback
Can u share the timeline on when did u get back on training after u injury and how long it take to get back 100%. I broke my collarbone n fracture rib a week ago did the surgery on the collarbone, hoping on the trainer 3 time a week 1-2hr each time. But do feel more pain on the ribs or lung after the day of training.
Hey Eric, I'm sry to hear about your injury. I stayed away from any training for 3 weeks and started on the trainer in week 4. It took me about 6 weeks to fully recover and get back to normal training.
If you are feeling pain a day after training in your ribs you may want to give yourself some more time to heal. Being uncomfortable during training is one thing, feeling pain a day after is another story. Give your body plenty of rest.
11 of the 14 ribs that connect to my sternum and 2 false ribs dislocate roughly 100 or more times put together, every day for the past 7 years. They also re-fracture frequently, and I have 5 non-union fractures on my sides. Doctors say none of this will heal and am now unable to work. I haven't gone to the gym because of all of this, but am really wanting to tone my legs without involving the chest and making my pain worse. Any leg workouts that you did during your rib injury that you could do?
That sounds terrible APJ. As for leg work outs, I don't have any good recommendations. I many focused on my stationary trainer and running.
40 days after my injury and i still feel uncomfortable with my ribs
I am able to run but feel like a needle in there while running
That's terrible Ahmad. You should prob get it checked out. There could be something more serious going on.
@@TrailSage The doctor said it was ok to feel like this
He thinks that all pain must vanish after two more weeks
So i will wait 💔
@@ahmadfahsa2380 Ok good luck Ahmad. Keep listening to your body.
Thanks for this video. I broke ribs t 10- t 12 about 5 weeks ago. Been on the elliptical for 2 weeks. I think ready for light jogging. Should I go ahead and do it?
Thanks for watching Doc. I'm sorry to hear about your broken ribs. Regarding jogging, if you are not experiencing trouble breathing on the elliptical you could give it a shot but note, the jogging will be a lot more impact on your body so it may hurt more. My doctor told me to wait 3 weeks before attempting jogging. Of course I am not a health professional, so you should prob reach out to them if you are really concerned. Good luck.
How long it’s took for full recovery ?!? This is my 6 week !! The only work out I do is walking !!! And still feel uncomfortable !!
@@maathlove hey Amar, i was fully recovered by the end of 6 week mark, but discomfort is normal. However, if u mean you still have pain then you may not be completely healed. Check with your Doctor if u are unsure.
@@TrailSage thanks ! How long for the discomfort will continue you think ?
@@maathlove Amar I am not a doctor and I don't know how severe your injuries are or what other complications you may have sustained so I can't answer those questions for you.
Your best bet is to consult your physician.
Do you still feel any pain in the ribs now that you’re fully recovered?
Hey Eric. No, I have not had any lingering issues with my ribs or back. After 6 weeks I was good-to-go, of course my fitness level coming back was a whole different issue, lol. Thanks for watching man.
I have right rib fracture is ok to run after 3 weeks even if I have some pain ?
Hey Amar, i would wait another week. I started in my 4th week. It will be uncomfortable but it should not be painful. If it is painful don’t push it
I only fractured one rib a few days ago and although it mostly hurts when sitting, laying down or coughing do you think it would be ok to do upper body in the gym with light weight?
Hey Tracy, sorry to hear about your fractured rib. I'm not a doctor, and I have no idea how bad your fracture is, but if it only happened a few days ago it sounds a little early to be putting any stress or pressure on it.
@@TrailSage Thank you for the response. I think I’ll definitely give it a little more time. It was really hurting today.
@@tracy9397 Sorry to hear that Tracy. I am glad you are listening to you body. Good luck with your recovery!
Do you think the ribs become stronger after they heal?
I don't know if the whole rib will be stronger but certainly the spot that was broken could heal stronger.
It's my 7th week now and my ribs still aren't joined. My biggest fear is non-union. Did your ribs heal completely and did you have them scanned to confirm it? Thanks.
Hey Jozef, Sorry to hear about your injury. Yes my ribs completely healed, but mine were both fractures, not complete breaks. Hope you heal up ok.
@@TrailSage Thanks! How your rib fracture was diagnosed?
@@georgejoejack6242 They did a full MRI of my upper body because I broke my back at the same time.
@@TrailSage Thanks.
Hey George, I'm just curious how your ribs healed up? I have several non-union ribs and can maybe give some advice?
A doctor told you to go running in week 3 of broken ribs ????
Sorry for the confusion, I started running after 3 weeks of recovery. Also my doctor did not tell me to run, he said I was allowed to run. The decision to run was my own. Hope that clears things up. Thank you for watching.
@@TrailSagewhat do u mean by 3 weeks of recovery? Do u mean 3rd week from ur injury? Or u mean you’re injured and u rest for ‘some time’ first before you start recovery training, and if so what’s that ‘some time’?

Hey Piyush. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. Regarding the pain, broken ribs should be healed in 6-8 weeks, so you might have something more serious going on. You may want to re-visit the doctor and have it checked out.
@@TrailSage i visited tow doctor one said at end of five weeks healing is going on but for you its slow , he said if u don't have much pain no need for ct scan at the end of eight weeks i visited another doctor and he took x ray no fracture visible at the end of three months pain is ribs became less but Muscles around ribs still paining i can feel rope like Muscle or hard tissue on top of ribs , and that compounder in clinic said it will take three months to become soft, still at night when i sleep at that side its start paining, my father is saying its normal to get pain forever even with minor injury and u should not complain, and the doctor is saying injury is almost healer but I am not sure why that muscle still pain and i have hard lump like muscle in injury

I suppose everyone is different Irene. I was just giving my personal account. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Thank you for the feedback.
Fuck that. I broke my ribs in mma, and after less than a full week at home I feel AWFUL.
It was only a month in that I FINALLY started to get consistent because I was addicted.

If you go on a mostly meat based diet you won't crave junk food either and you'll get much more bioavailable protein and vitamins that your body is going to need to heal. So yeah going on a vegan diet with a broken rib is probably one of the dumbest things you can possibly do.
