Rib Injury

[over55]

I FELL AND HURT LEFT RIB AREA WEEK AND A HALF AGO. EITHER BRUSED OR CRACKED RIBS OR ORGANS IN THAT AREA. IT HURTS WHEN I COUGH OR SNEEZE. I HAD TROUBLE WORKING AROUND IT. SIT UPS AND PULL UPS WERE TOUGH. LOW WEIGHTS WERE DIFFICULT. CARDIO WAS OK. I BACKED OFF SUPPS AND STEROIDS, LOWERED FOOD INTAKE BECAUSE I WASN'T LIFTING.
I DIDN'T GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE THEY DON'T WRAP RIBS ANYMORE.
TOMORROW, I WILL TRY TO GET BACK TO THE GYM. I HAD BIG PLANS FOR THE HOLIDAYS. I GOT LAID OFF FROM WORK AND HAD PLANED TO HIT THE GYM HARD. I WANTED TO ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS AND COLLECTED SEVRENCE PAY. AFTER THE HOLIDAYS I PLAN ON FINDING ANOTHER JOB. IT WILL BE HARD TO REPLACE $ 73,000 A YEAR UNION JOB. I JUST HOPE THESE RIBS REPAIR SO I CAN PUMP IRON AGAIN WITH OUT PAIN. WHAT CAN I SAY ?

I am sorry to hear that 55! The holidays for some reason are always tough on me, this year I had a tragic event happen to one of my best friends. His ex-wife murdered his 8 year old son and then tried to committ suicide herself.

Seems like this time of year every year is tough!

Damn,
Taking some time off sounds good though.
Just say away from the gym tell your ribs heal.
Sorry to hear about the job though.

Today I Tried To Work Around The Left Rib Area. It Is A Liitle Better. I Started Small And Light. I Did The Sears Rowing Machine For A Few Minutes, Cardio Bike, Side Bends And Twists, Streched, Seated Leg Press 120 Lbs ,5 Sets Of 10, Precher Curls With Curling Bar, 60 Lbs, 3 Sets Of 10. Standing Curls Curling Bar 60 Lbs. Dumbell Curls 25 Lbs, 3 Sets Of 10. Seated Bent Over Curls 30lbs Dumbell, 3 Sets Of 10 Each Arm. Shoulder Shurgs 50 Lbs. Dumbell 5 Sets Of 10. 30 Minute Brisk Walk. I Couldn't Do Bench Press Because It Hurt To Lie Down On The Bench.
The Ribs Have Improve But It Still Hurts To Lie Down Even In Bed I Have To Find The Right Position. I Will Try This For Awhile Three Times A Week For A Couple Of Weeks. Then Maybe I'll Cycle Back Up, I Haven't Been Making The Best Use Of The Steriods I Take, However I Don't Compeate And Am Older, I Just Want To Look Ripped And Like I Lift Weights To Stay Healthy.

Back To Working Out. Still Feel The Ribs But They Are Much Better.
However, I Had Trouble With The Bench Press. I Feel Pain When I Lie Down On The Bench. I Did Three Sets Of 10 At 120lbs. It Didn't Feel Right So I Didn't Go Any Higher. I Am Usually Good At Min. Of 150-180use To Going Higher Than That Even Off Steriods. I'll Let The Ribs Heal A Bit Longer. Fine With Cardio, Jog Walk Or Bike.

Ribs hurt and take time.
I pulled my pec close to my sternum one time and it took almost 2 years to be 100%. Everytime I sneezed, coughed, or moved it hurt.

[over55]

Yes, Tell Me About It. Although I'm Much Better I Can Still Feel It.
