I had a really nasty wreck while mountain bike riding last weekend. Suffered a bruised back, shoulder, knee, hip, and ribs. Everything but my ribs are healing nicely. I was most concerned about my back, but it's close to 100% now. But my damn ribs are still sore as hell. I went riding last night. As long as I just pedaled the bike I felt fine. Soon as I had to start working the bike with my upper body, my ribs would ache. It feels like a really painful cramp that won't go away. The pain is under my rib cage. The bones on the outside feel just fine when I touch them. When I am sleeping at night and roll over, the pain wakes me right up.
I also tried to workout yesterday morning and that was just a disaster.
When I crashed, my back was absolutely killing me and I was limping for two days because of it. The rib injury felt minor in comparison. Now my back feels great but the ribs do not.
So I guess my question is, when will I feel better? I have a ride planned Sunday that involves lots of dangerous stuff and I don't want to miss it.
Before you ask, NO I have not been to my doctor. If anything was seriously wrong, I'd be in a lot more pain.
