Has anyone played the game We The King? Well the dare was to create a Human game of Jenga. I was at the bottom with 4 people on top of me and my sister.

ice and advil did the trick for me! stupid pavement and falling 5 or six feet and brusing the right side of my ribs it was not fun. You dont realize how much pain your in until it happens

i did my ribs 3 weeks ago playing fooball. The pain has been

severe, and I don't get sick pay. I haven't weight trained since,

and within this time have lost about 10% of my prior muscle.

Really frustrating, In the past I broke a rib (thai boxing) that took 12 weeks, but hoping mine are just bruised this time

round. Could well do without it though GGRRRRRRR!!

How many time should one repeat the preccedure, of removing and applying the cold pack. Today I had a cold pack applied to the bruised/fractured are for 20 minutes. Is this a suitabily long period of time, or shoud I have coninued with it for longer. As a result of my lifestyle, I do mixed martial arts - ufc, I believe this will not be the last time this happens. Also is the consumption of painkillers necessary I did not have any on me, so proceeded to suffer it, 'like a man'. :P

Capoeira kick to the back...not fun.

[pogithebear]

you could've simply said use ice the bruised area, and take some tylenol if needed.

[DerEwigeKurde]

@hyperswivel just bruised ribs? have u ever really bruised your ribs they hurt like hell with every move.

[hyperswivel]

@DerEwigeKurde you missed the joke. I meant "remove his hands" as in "severe his hands"
