I got pushed off this hill of woodchips n landed right on my back... I didn't notice at the time but i broke 2 of my ribs... Yes it hurt extremely bad but I wanted to be tough n finished school the rest of the day and actually attended basketball n played it. The physical trainer at my school made me lay on the gym floor and do streches to strech it out.She wouldn't listen to me because i told her i couldn't do that. She told me i had to do 100 times of the streches n now i suffer pain from that. Is there anyway to fix it? I went to the chiropractor. But that didn't work! HELP!!

If you have an injury, you need to get the nessacary help. Go to a docotor (not a chiropractor) and get yourself checked out. Contiuing to be active with a broken rib could be quite dangerous.

Your doctor will sort you out with some pain killers if it hurts. He will tell you what to do. My dad broke his ribs once he just got pain killers and was fine in 2 weeks.

You can't always be tough, you have to think of what is right. You have to think of your life. I mean, by doing that that could have caused a lot of damage. And if i were you, i will be running to the dr! And if you what t o long, something could happen so that you can't run to the dr, go to school, or even get out of bed! so go to the dr. And if your friends say that you are a sissy, then they are lying. that is the right thing to do. [ talktotay's advice column | Ask talktotay A Question ]

Have you gottan an actual x-ray of your rib cage to verify the injury?
Mandee answered Monday June 21 2004, 8:49 am: Hey Sweetie! I am so sorry about your back! You shouldn't have tried to play basketball with two broken ribs though! You need to go to the doctor. Your doctor will tell you what you need tell you more about what's wrong, and give you some things that will help you recover faster. It's good you went to the chiropractor, but you should wait until you go to the doctor first and then ask him. Chiropractors are helpful, but I hurt my back before and I know what it's like. You probably need some drugs to help your back from a doctor and then get natural help from a chiropractor. Get better soon, Love ya - Mandee [ Mandee's advice column | Ask Mandee A Question ]
