So have been working on a few moves lately and thought I just had super sore chest muscles, but noticed it's kinda isolated in one spot. Touched it today, almost blacked out from pain, and realized I should probably get it looked at. It's hurt to breathe for almost a week now, and I sneezed the other day and thought I was gonna die.
Went to the doctor, and he's like "yup, you broke a rib." After listening to my breathing, he determined that I'm barely using my right lung. Which explained why I've been so facking tired lately- I'm not breathing.
As far as I can tell, I did it by messing up during a stage show and ramming my elbow into my chest.
So no pole work for at least two weeks- waiting on xray results to find out how bad it is and if I've damaged my lung at all.
Also prescribed codeine... woo. Funny though, I'm supposed to take 2 tablets twice a day, for 10 days. So 40 tablets. But they gave me 120. Do they want people to start abusing it?
Anybody done something similar? (broke a rib, not abused codeine)
