Yeah, I had an unfortunate encounter with a drum set last night and broke one of my ribs, The way I'm feeling right now I'm going to be out of commision for awhile. Anybody have any experience with hobbying while injured?

I broke a toe while hobbying once. It felt better to tape it. I'd recommend to stick to bbbjs and her riding Cow girl until you feel better.

Just know some activities are going to require a bit of creativity to overcome the sensitivity.

But aren't you supposed tobeat on the drums and not vice-versa. 8o). Sorry about that, I can resist anything but temptation. My suggestion would be to lay on your back and hire a fellatrice (sp?)to work on your unbroken bone. I hopew you heal quickly.

To seek medical attention on TER before going to the hospital 😄.  

Take some of your hobby money and GO SEE A DOCTOR!!  I hope you have health insurance or hobbycare or obamacare or something.  

I believe there is a nurse in the house. I understand she can make you forget about it for awhile.

depending on where and how many your body might simply refuse to perform the usual gymnastics. My advice, go to a body shop. Ha ha, get it, body shop.  

but you can probably still go for a FBSM until the rib heals.

It definitively sounds sweeter and sexier than any alternative I can think of, and pretty much anyone over 15 can figure out what it means.

In the old days we used to tap up the chest. That invariably resulted in a pneumonia as part of the lung did not expand and  --like a blocked up pond with no water flow-- became infected.  
The only thing to do now is to get pain relief. The pain will calm down after a relatively short time.  
I use either acetaminophen with codeine or sometimes something stronger. (like oxycodone)  This is by prescription so you do need to see a doc.
Sorry about that.

But get thee to an urgent care or your doc to get it x-rayed, asap!!!  

I cracked one of mine once with a heavy garment bag on a business trip to Asia.  I never thought much about it when it dropped and hit me on my side, until I woke up in MAJOR pain at about 3 am when it "popped" out of place while sleeping during an O/N with a lovely Chinese lady.  It ended up bothering me for about 6 months... but normally at about 2-3 am the same way it did that first night.  NO FUN!

Sure... The Ol empty bottle trick. Just don't believe her when she say you have to be on your "knees" to do it LOL. Seriously, all the hospital will do is tape up your chest (after they run every test X-ray, MRI, and CAT Scan that your insurance will pay for, oh and try to talk you into a colonoscopy) hobby with care - we don't want you to do any additional damage. Just remember that Drs love tests. The more the better.

True story...

I'm betting on cracked. It takes a lot of force to break a rib and there is usually internal damage to go with it. Ribs are pretty strong. They serve an important purpose.

Wrap your chest with an ACE bandage or wear a very tight vest for a couple weeks. That's where the term, "It only hurts when I laugh," comes from. Good luck

You're clearly bad luck LOL

I wasn't the one drinking moonshine...LoL

No way to wrap it, can't put your ribcage in a sling....you just feel screwed. Only good news is that that feeling only lasts three or four days, then it should get better.

...my dear Sasha that I posted that after spending all day at urgent care. They did the whole X-ray and physical exam thing and gave me a scrip for 6 (count them, 6) Percosets for use only at night and told me to come back if conditions worsened. No other treatment given or recommended.

Cracked...

...and had to adjust my position about every 15 minutes...

I was strapped into my G&L guitar at the time...I think I twisted around to prevent damaging it and that's how my ribs got exposed...

I'm about 60 miles north and west of you, in Orange County...

...my dearest Stephanie...

...if the ribs got broken DURING the fun part...

Suck it up..or have her do it..

When you stub your toe it hurts to holy hell, but it only lasts about 45 seconds and then the pain's pretty much gone. When you break a rib it hurts for three or four days, but then the pain will be gone. Hopefully. Still might not be too limber and spry.

The word is "fellatrix."  The plural of fellatrix is fellatrices.  Perfectly good words, in English or otherwise.

I broke five while taking a tumble while mountain trekking some time ago.  Quite painful and sex was out of the question for a several weeks, but most broken ribs heel naturally in a few weeks and you have to be patient.  If you don't do anything foolish your recovery should be complete, but you need X rays if you haven't had them.
