Bruised Ribs?

[Bboybean]

Not much to tell but I failed hard on flat bench and I think I brusied my ribs. Hurts to breath and I cant bend over without extreame pain. Im not sure If I should goto the hospital , I dont want to waste their/my time for just a brusied rib.

Couple of questions though;
How long do these usally take to heal?
How can I be reasonably sure its just a bruised ribs?
Can I still work out other muscles (ie. I have legs tommorow)


Thanks Tons and Merry Christmas.

If you feel pain just by taking a simple breath of air, reframe from all routines until the injury has fully healed.

Yeah , its the next day but I feel quite a bit better. I dont think I hurt myself as much as I first thought. My chest is tight and it still hurts a little when I cough/laugh/take a big breath, but otherwise I think I can wait it out.

thanks for the help

You should get checked out by a doc. My cousin thought she bruised her ribs but she broke them. If you can't even laugh with out the pain maybe it's more than bruised.
Play it safe bro.
