Cracked Ribs how long is recovery?

I am not a pussy haha

I skied the rest of the night

but now its killing me

I just want to know how long till its normal again?
 
I crack 3 in my back last season. Hurt like hell....took about 4 solid months to fully heel and get rid of all the pain. In the first month laughing or a sneeze was no bueno!
 
I cracked my ribs the day after new years and it's still kinda sore. The first 2 weeks were the worst for sure, now it's more just a little sore spot.
 
i broke my ribs like two/three years ago and couldnt ski for 6 weeks, but it depends how badly they are broken, cause i broke two ribs completly which punctured my lungs and pierced my liver, so i had to be at hospital for a couple weeks. (and dont cough or laugh)
 
you and the other morons have NO IDEA what you are talking about. If you REALLY cracked your ribs you would be out for 4 months+ without the ability to even laugh. The pain is absurd. What you have done is bruised a rib or strained one of the muscles that is wrapped around your ribs. This too is painful but NO WHERE NEAR the pain of a cracked rib. You need to be hospitalized if you cracked a rib and you would be crying non-stop and crying b/c the pain hurts when you cry.
 
ive done it, and fuck yeah it hurts but seriously pain is just a feeling and easy to overcome, Ive been skiing with a broken bone for a week. HAsnt stopped me from jibbing but you wont see me jumping thats for sure.
 
If you broke ribs, you wouldn't be skiig. I have broken them before and wanted to cry just getting out of bed. Its so painful. If you cracked them if I were you lay REAL LOW for about a week and a half, like totally calm, heat on, then off, then on, with IBprofen, and do nothing. If you truly cr4acked your ribs your out for about 3 weeks, then they will still be sore.

If you break ribs you are out for 6 weeks, anything past carving
 
Shit, i was just going to ask the same question...hurts like shit plus i have this nagging terrible cogh so evertime i cough my ribs go into a fury
 
yeah i did one at the end of the season so i wasn't missing much but couging in the first week made my eyes like tear up
 
i may have broken one of my ribs, im not suer. i never got it checked. here what happened.

i was riding home on my bike in the dark. i was in gear 2-7 and standing up peddling as hard as i could. while i was standing up ansd peddling like a mofo my stem broke loose. my handlebars just came off. since i was standing up i went over the frame of my bike and stem into the ground. really fucking hard. i was just sort of moaning in pain. my knees, hips, sides, ribs hurt. mostly my ribs. luckily some people were walking they're dog and helped me. after a while i got up with much pain. my metal brake snapped off, not even a welded part. clean metal snapped upon impact. other shit was mesed too. i was bleeding on my ribs, knees, sides, hands, alot of places. after i got home i put some neosporin on ym ribs after cleaning off the blood. it hurt like a bitch. coughing and sneezing if i could was terrible. sleeping sucked. getting up sucked. i layed low for 2 weeks or so. it didnt seembad enought o get it checked. now it doesnt hurt anymore. i do have a scar on my ribs though. i dont know if i broke anything.
 
i broke my toenail the other day. whenever i take my socks off, it hurts like hell. i'm still skiing on it though. i guess that makes me fucking core, like chuck norris or something.
 
um, gee that must have been a fucked up xray then.

i fractured my ribs (not broken, shit) and sneezing/coughing/laughing hurt like a bitch for about a week and i couldnt do much for about a month.
