Encouraged by the excellent advice in[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/why-is-my-leg-hurting ]this thread[/url] I thought I would ask the experts.

Was practicing drop -offs last week when I managed to fall off the bike in mid air and land on my right man boob, arm out. I had to take five but got back on a little sore. Later in the ride I had the 'ol flashing lights in the eyes but that was on a big climb...

Now, a week later it REALLY hurts to sneeze or take a deep deep breath and it hurts to touch about 40mm above the nipple. Is it the bruise coming out? Should I MTFU.

OMG is it teh BAD AIDS?

Have you been near any Canada Geese recently?

Broken rib +1

Nothing to be done about it apart from plenty of analgesia and MTFU

Mastitis. As I said, diagnosis is my strength.

Mastitis? Could be onto something. Tune in to an episode of The Archers and they'll sort you out

Broken rib (s) - don't bother seeing a doctor as there's nowt they can do.

just make sure you expel air in your lungs every so often or you'll get a chest infection.

Carry a towel with you and use it to brace your ribs when a sneeze comes on.

6 weeks heal time and you'll be right again.

good advice, sir. Im going to Cwmcarn Monday so with a bit of luck it is just bruising and I can MTFU and have a bit of fun :). Never been before and I dont get let out much so im not missing that one!

last time I visited doctors I had agonising blisters. Doctor agreed. "Yes you do have some [i]superficial[/i] blisters on your tongue" he then ****ed me off to see some real patients...No I wont be going there again.

If it still hurts next week. Pizza/ Beer/ This
if not Cwmcarn. Got a new mudguard and everything. (and some lock ons - loose grips+ineptitude will always casue a crash)

cheers,
Dudes

I went OTB 3 weeks ago and crunched something in my lower left rib cage. Still sore. Never got painful, just sore. Its getting to the point where I'm wondering if it isn't a pulled muscle. Any ideas?

I assume if I'd burst my spleen or popped my appendix it'd hurt a lot more after 3 weeks ...

possibly the cartilage between the ribs.... Bust ribs usually hurt straight away (well in my experience and someopne else who bust a rib>)

Sadly likely to be a 'rest' and get better thing.

Go and see the doc for x ray to make sure.

The only problem I have with that diagnosis, is that you need muscles to pull in the first place.

I wouldn't bother with an xray
if its a broked rib it will hurt for 6 weeks then get better.
if its not a broked rib it will hurt for 6 weeks then get better.
if you start coughing up blood or green stuff or suddenly find it very difficult to breathe, then seek medical advice (that means from a dr not on here)

GP: Hi Mr ADH, what can I do for you.

ADH: I think I've bust a rib, though not badly enough to need medical attention. I'd just like to bitch about it some.

GP: Chaff off so I can deal with some people I can assist then, numbnuts.

Not so glad I made such a fuss.

Your constipated so take some laxative to relieve the pressure on your chest, its a well know fact that constipation causes chest pain.

Ive got 6 cans of midweek Stella to enjoy. It usually has a mild bowel-loosening effect...
