Last night I went to flip myself upside down and felt and heard my rib "crack". It hurts to breathe, hurts to do ANYTHING (I haven't even showered or change my clothes since). I honestly thought my rib might've cracked and when I went to the hospital they thought maybe that was it and I had x rays.
It was a simple trick that I do almost every stage set, and now I'm in so much pain. X rays showed nothing was broken, so it's likely "just" a pulled muscle. Something like this happened before and it took three weeks to recover. Another possibility is torn cartilage, which could take up to 12 weeks to heal. It hurt so bad that I was crying after my last set (which I didn't do any tricks for, just laying on the rack hurt), and went home early.
I should've known better, it was my second day back after three weeks off, and now I can't work for AT LEAST another week, and that's if I'm really lucky. Please please be careful!
Sorry if this was a little incoherent, I'm doped up on vicodin, which isn't killing the pain![]()
