How the hell?
Went to the doctor yesterday after a couple of weeks of intense side pain.
He poked and prodded and asked me this and that. Then he said I pulled my end rib loose from the others. I thought they were all attatched. Guess I lifted one too many blocks. Drat. Now a few weeks with a rubber band brace.

Well, ackshooly, you can just have it removed. It will improve yer figger. Models do it all the time. Well, less often than their noses, bellies, and breasts. Mebbe, since you already loosened one, they wouldn't charge you as much to remove it. That is odd, tho. Mebbe off balance lifting? Would think yer back woulda gone out, before a rib. I would have an x-ray done. It could also be a pulled muscle, which can ball up/swell, and look like a protrusion of sorts. But these things can indeed loosen up, incl. the sternum -- all held together with ligaments. Still odd. -- DT Steve -- "...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done."

I had open heart surgery, 5 way bypass, and aortic valve replaced. They left the wire. Then July 4th past, I crushed my L1 vertebra 1/2" when my ATV came back over on me while on a trail. I told the doc I keep thinking I'm young, but my body won't comply. Yeah, I think I did it lifting three of those 80# Windsor Wall blocks. One at a time, of course. Steve Do you mean you're not like me? I'm only as old as I feel, so I only have birthdays in years ending in an odd number - next year Junior (born 1974) and I will be the same age!
