Does anybody know how to lift through a rib injury? Can I keep going and just suck it up or am I doing more damage?

Take good care of yourself [b]now[/b], and please allow this to heal the right way without rushing it, and you’ll be glad you did. It will pay off in the long run. You’re not going to die for those few weeks you [b]must[/b] use to heal. [b]No shortcuts.[/b] If you don’t, you could pay again later, down the road. It’s not worth it. If you can be so strict and disciplined with the gym training, there’s no reason why you can’t eat right and not gain weight, as you fear, while you give your body the special care it’s screaming for.

Please do not lift at this time. You’ll just do more damage. This is really rough for you right now. I know. I’ve had broken ribs three different times. I’m so sorry you have this now. To heal a lot quicker, take extra Vitamin D-3 [u]every day[/u]. Do not miss.

You need to at least get it wrapped and rest up. I wouldn't lift through that. Maybe just hand weights or leg workouts if you must

Well if you snap a rib, its going to do a lot of damages.

I have broken ribs before....as long as you didn't pierce a lung you will be ok. It will hurt like hell to take a deep breath for a while. The Drs. just X-ray to make sure there are no complication and tell you to take it easy for a while.

More damage. This is a question that will depend on the extent of the injury, but I'd ask your doctor to be certain

Ow ,what happened?

Prolly not a good idea to lift right away. You can wrap the area to compress it and help "hold" things in place. However, I would caution against doing any lifting as it will probably just makes things worse if not more serious.

I was told to keep them wrapped and no lifting for a couple of weeks...which was the next doctors appointment.

I hope you are ok.

More damage

Take an anti inflammatory
