who feels my pain?

[Ottis]

I think I bruised my ribs last weekend (Saturday), I don't know what happened except it happened around 50mph. It was pretty rough out and I was moving pretty fast when I ate it and skipped across the water. I don't think I hit the ski since I was moving so fast but its Wednesday and feels more sore now than a few days ago. What do bruised ribs feel like.

It looks like somehing sharp is trying to poke through the skin... is that normal? J/K

I'm healing two broken ribs (mx crash) right now and what you discribe is what I feel, if it keeps up you may want to get a x-ray

bruised ribs hurt like hell.
hurts when you sneeze,cough,pretty much anything you do ,etc..
it's been 4 weeks now and good enough to ride but barely.sometimes felt like a virulent lung pain also.
good luck.

You know I feel better now, I'm not the only one suffering and missing the start of ridding season
