Cracked ribs?

2-3 weeks for me.

 

As Steve said, the pain built up after about 3 days.

 

Twisting/stretching movements were worst.

 

Good luck. Stay off Arbtalk for a while. Some of the comments on here are so funny you will set yourself back weeks with split sides as well!

i've pulled all the muscles across my abdomen when i had an epileptic fit and bruised my ribs at the same time, now that is painful. i could still feel the pain AFTER i'd being given pethidine at the hospital:bored:. I still get the occasional twinge if i twist in a certain way.
