Wind knocked out

[clmintie]

prob with going to doc is they will tell you as they did me that 80 to 90% of the time xrays wont show up anything and youll just have to bare the pain asa there is not much they can do part from take your money and say have a nice day. Mine was/is still cracked fine it hard to lie on a hard surface still after 5 weeks but gets better each day. Good luck.

I've just had exactly the same experience, Dr said couldn't see a crack on xray, but that it was probably cracked. Now at six weeks, I still can't lie on a hard surface, but can sneeze (carefully....) Get it seen to, if for no other reason than to record the ACC stuff for any future problems.... Rest is good......

It's quite common (I'm told) to pop a rib out of the cartilage in the centre of your chest (they almost always just pop on in again), which can result in a fair bit of pain, have a friend who did that snowboarding and he felt winded for some time (about a day or so) also.

Well that was a crap nights sleep

I will go to the Doc today, to register the accident. I still feel a bit stunned and am certainly sore. My poor old knee is not that flash looking either really. Thank guys, appreciate the input.

Glad you ok MOM. I know numerous guys that hate the thought of a chick being faster or better than them too. And some make stupid moves to try to overtake me. Most of them accept that I ride as good as them, and don't bother trying to show off now.

But hope you feel better soon

Change the DR400 for an RMZ450, then next time the guy won't get close enough to see your dust

I am a bit past that stage in my life now, though back then I would have probably done it

I will live apparently. I have fluid on the knee, feels weird and a bit sore but hopefully will settle without him having to stick a huge needle in it to draw it out I have bruised ribs, he said no point in x-ray as they will settle in the same time anyway.

Now all I need to do is stop coughing. I tried a LOL too today for whoever asked, it was not a good idea.

As long as your not coughing up blood and bits of lung the next day you should be right.That happened to me after an endo and my bike cartwheeled down a hill and landed on top of me - footpeg in the ribs. Pink blood in the hand basin after the first days ciggy the next morning. Gah. Not too much the doc can do about cracked ribs they said. Take it easy etc etc took about 5 weeks before i couldnt feel them anymore. My pressure suit only really covered my spine exposing either side of it to a pummelling. Not to worry, I finished the event at least. Good luck with the recovery eh!
