| randy | 12 days | still hurts occasionally on certian movements, but we'll call it over | details |
| bee | 12 days | The cuts healed just fine. The ribs were surprisingly obstinate, but it was probably unwise to go running only five days after the fall. It felt OK for about 10 minutes and then the L side started to spasm in an impressively painful fashion. Back to the analgesics.... After about two weeks, the problem started to resolve noticeably. Finally all clear by early May. | details |
| kala | 13 days | Nothing really helped the recovery, it just took time, I suppose :( | details |

| RLShadow | 29 days | Cause was a very careless driver, hitting me when I was on a wide shoulder! Lesson (to me) is to pay attention to traffic, even when the shoulder is wide enough that there seems to be no real danger. | details |
| TeTe | 29 days | Not visible anymore | details |
| TheInvisibleLog | 29 days | The first two weeks were hard but after that it receded into background. | details |

| Bags | 29 days | Still some stiffness and not able to do all drills yet but running and 85% of drills. Able to get up off bed and out of chair or off the floor with only the normal 'geezer' difficulty but no stabs of pain. Sneezes not causing me to nearly pass out. Even blowing my nose hurt my ribs at first. | details |
| O-ing | 30 days | Time. Right ribcage bruising after clash with fence. Just sore, no issue with training. | details |

| MSoutham | 34 days | Pain is very minimal after 5 weeks. No more snow boarding. | details |
| LiveWideLoveDeep | 35 days | Rest, Active recovery, soft tissue work (Rolfing & ART), strength training and time. | details |
| FE | 35 days | There are no medical guidelines or detailed knowledge on recovery times and my symptoms were atypical. Kept active, listened to body and tried not to be too impatient! Less said about cause the better- orienteering in torrential rain in waterlogged forests. | details |
| ebone | 36 days | This injury lingered for quite a while. The April 1 end date is a guess, because it seemed to get better for a day or two then flare up again several times, and I don't remember the last time it hurt. I think the recovery simply took time and wasn't catalyzed by any particular action or rest, but I'm not sure. | details |
| revy | 36 days | Recovery just took time. | details |

| HubNukin' | 40 days | Finally healed this thing! I don't think I broke anything. I think I must have hit right on the sternum/manubrium joint which is why I managed to pull, strain or irritate just about everything in my upper body. In the end, rest and Outie's ART were the big healers in this one. Thank goodness that one's over! | details |
| abort | 41 days | Just spent time healing, still hurts sitting from time to time, but getting better. | details |
| Homey | 43 days | Pretty much recovered. Still feel it but not impacting training anymore. Took a while b/c I'm not young anymore! | details |

| Trailrat | 45 days | Time, time, and more time. Everytime I tried to push back to hard running I set myself back. | details |

| JonD | 65 days | working out during this was OK for me. I think based on the pain that I had at least fractured a rib - possbly separated one. Ultimately it was unnecessary to stop working out - including doing chest presses or swimming. Although for some reason tricep curls were impossible. | details |
| JonD | 66 days | still some residual side discomfort after weight lifting | details |

| cricketk | 342 days | Find a physio you trust and like. Mine completely failed to notice that I had broken a rib and was working with the theory that my AC joint was subluxating. The sticking and popping was most likely the broken rib moving around. Training wise - Block only as quickly as the kick comes towards you. Remember to dodge. Remind over-excited colour-belts that you are out of practice and to take it easy. Beating me up isn't buddies. Adrenaline is not necessarily my friend. This is the thir... | details |
