Then make sure to follow them on Instagram for more lifestyle, travel, and style inspo! Who to follow: Carrie Colbert of Where to go: Aspen, Colorado. “As much as I love living in the South, the heat and humidity of Houston is almost unbearable at times during the summer,” says Carrie. “So, we have been spending lots of time in Colorado several weeks in Aspen, plus a stint in Telluride.” Which bag to pack: “ bag is great, as it allows your hands to stay free for whatever you’re doing,” says Carrie.
“The bag can be dressed up or dressed down, and it is the perfect size; it fits all the essentials, plus a few extra things.” Carrie’s Aspen Recommendations: “Aspen is definitely one of my happy places, particularly in the summer. The cool temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, rafting, tubing, and more. It’s a good thing that it’s such an active town, as I definitely consume plenty of calories while I’m there! One of my favorite restaurants in the world is Aspen’s.

So, I crashed, it happens and feel pretty lucky that its only my ribs that are sore. Its been a week and they still hurt.
Someone give me some good news on the quickest recovery from either badly bruised or perhaps a cracked rib? I have a trip to BC planned on July 1, hoping this is enough time to heal.There's not much you can do but wait it out. Tell your friends to quit telling jokes so you don't laugh, have something to grab onto when you stand up from sitting. It really takes months to heal. Least it did for me.

Someone give me some good news on the quickest recovery from either badly bruised or perhaps a cracked rib? I have a trip to BC planned on July 1, hoping this is enough time to heal.If it's truly broke.you may be fine by July if you take it easy until then.and on your first ride back. I've broken ribs 3 times, and they all took just over a month to heal to a point of not hurting anymore.
The 2nd time I broke one was from playing lacrosse. I took a month and a half off, and started playing again after a few weeks of no pain. After the 4th or 5th hit in the game, I rebroke the same one. I learned my lesson to take it easy even after they felt good for a few weeks. If you can promise your ribs that you won't fall.then feel free to take the chance.
Just don't reinjure it! You'll then have almost 2 months of sleepless nights instead of just one.
Again.that is if it's fractured. If it's bruised.you'll be fine. I have injured my ribs twice. Once I think they were broken and took about 4 months to heel. The second time I think it was a bruise because it took only 3-4 weeks to heel. Was the pain level substantially different between the break and the bruise? Right now there are good days and bad days but still think they are bruised instead of broken.Yes the break hurt much more.
It also made noise. I could hear popping. One time I think I re-injured it by raising my arms over my head for a big stretch sitting at work. As I raise my arms I feel and hear a big pop come from my chest loud enough for my co workers to hear. So i guess I do have advice: Don't stretch your chest area! FWIW, I've been told (by an ER nurse friend) that the number one complication from bruised or broken ribs is breathing too shallowly (because of pain associated with deep breaths) and developing pneumonia.
His recommendation was to make sure you breathe deeply a few times each day, and possibly even force a cough or three.Yep, that is true. Time and effective pain management. I tore a rib out of my sternum in college. Hurt to sleep on that side for a month, but as long as I didn't tackle anyone from that spot, it was OK except when I was lifting. It would 'click' in and out doing benchpress for a few years.

His recommendation was to make sure you breathe deeply a few times each day, and possibly even force a cough or three.I remember that now that you mention it. The shallow breaths, trying to breathe deep figuring I needed to stretch things out and the godawful pain. I did mine running after a frisbee on the street and folded myself over a car hood going full speed. So I hit from my floating rib area all the way up. My buddy said he could see it coming as I ran after the disc.
My ribs took a lot longer than a month to finally heal, seemed like it was more like four months before I could laugh without crying. If you broke them you would know, crunchy and incredibly painful. A fractured rib is a difficult thing to diagnose and the above posts are accurate, not much you can do other than rest. Sneezing and laughing is not recommended. I broke 4 rims and, as the ER nurse told me, 'liquified all my connective tissue'. Three in the front and one in the back, plus a few separated from my sternum. Due to the chest tramua I also compressed my vegal nerve, now that was f'n weird.
On the drive home (before I decided to go to the ER) I almost passed out several times, wanted to barf, and temporarily lost my hearing. It absolutely sucked. It will be two years in September now and my ribs still feel strange when I sneeze and my sternum still makes weird noises sometimes when I stretch. I still have a big lump of scar tissue on my hip. My doc said 'Get used to it'. All of this from overshooting a baby sized double at Winter Park!
So rad it was laughable. I was unable to lay down for approx 6 weeks, if I did my body would shake uncontrollably from the pain.
I slept on the couch, sitting up propped up by pillows. My recovery took several months. The breathing thing mentioned above is also true. Part of my recovery was this breathing apparatus / exercise which forced my to breath in deeply and exhale, it sucked, I hated it. Pain management is key.
I recommend alternating between herb and vicodin. Just don't stay on the vicodin too long, there is a reason people get hooked on them. (I liked them too much and it fu.ed up my sleeping cycle for a long time) Good luck, heal fast. If you broke them you would know, crunchy and incredibly painful.

I remember your story then. Yours was the worse injury for sure. That'd be tough trying to ride doubles again after that. If you broke them you would know, crunchy and incredibly painful.

So, I crashed, it happens and feel pretty lucky that its only my ribs that are sore.
Its been a week and they still hurt. Someone give me some good news on the quickest recovery from either badly bruised or perhaps a cracked rib? I have a trip to BC planned on July 1, hoping this is enough time to heal.Unless you plan to lay in bed or on the couch, they are not going to heal quickly.
They will not heal by July 1st. This is just plain facts. I broke my ribs snowboarding, and then 5 days later I had to go back to Iraq and patrol and wear all my gear. Heat, heat, heat is the key. Thermacare heat wraps worked WONDERS. Nothing else worked, not pills, not ice, nothing.
I wish you quick healing. I broke a rib for the second time three weeks ago - healing this one has been like walking on eggshells! My injury seems to have gotten worse (more painful) after I remained active - bad call. Try and move as gently and infrequently as possibly so that the break can set and mend.
Physical work and/or riding with a broken rib will create more serious problems. Do yourself a big favor and lay low for at least two weeks, and borrow some body armor for the B.C. Trip!I was fully armored, but had no rib protection. I plan to change that. I rode yesterday for the first time, 20 + miles of singletrack. I was tentative and the anticipation of bumps was scarier than anything. By the end I was riding almost normal and even hit a few little drops.
Today I was sore, but it loosened up quickly. I don't think sitting around is the key. Although I didn't do much at first, but its been 3 weeks now.
I find that when I am active (road bike, yard work etc) that after a little I feel the best. Still really don't know if they were broken but I have been on an extensive Eastern Medicine regime and I do think it has helped. Still up in the air whether or not I should go to BC.

After just a few weeks they feel rather fine under normal activity, but one F up and there will be problems again.
BC is totally your call.if you can go and take it easy without falling, cool. You can always just go and be the photo/videographer for your friends or something.it'll still suck, but you still get to ride a bit and it won't suck as badly as sitting at home. You'll still be chilling with your friends out there.can't complain too badly IMO.
