when I was at Tremblant for xmas vacation i was going a little too slow and slipped back on this down-rail and smacked my side/ ribs really hard then bashed my knee into the support pole at the bottom. My knee is fine now but my ribs still hurt especially when i move a certain way, or when i breath really deep. any chance they might be cracked or fractureed? im hoping their just brused cause the day after the fall i was able to spin like normal without feeling any pain.

well they could be cracked or fractured if:sneezing and coughing hurt alot, breathing deep does, or moving your arms certain ways do, it only takes about 3 weeks to heal and u can ski on it as long as yer careful


yay skiing

Keep a close eye. . . I had three broken and didn't get medical attention. I ended up getting pneumonia because I couldn't take deep breaths keeping fluid out of my lungs.

yeah if it just hurts to breath, and sit up strait, then i think it might be broken

I had the exact same felling as you and it turned out that i had 3 broken ribs..I think you should see a doctor so he can give you some pain killers, so you would be able to ski and breath right.

they are probly at least cracked, cuz i bruised ribs pretty bad once, and i could breath fine, it just hurt a little to move my arms, and when u touched it.

They may not be broken or cracked. I bruised my ribs really badly at Alta last season and the guys at the Snowbird clinic x-rayed me and said it wasn't broken or cracked. Just bruised. It hurt like hell and I couldn't lay down, breath, or move without some serious pain. There was nothing I could do except take some pain killers like mad. The doctor said the treatment is pretty much the same whether you bruise, break, or crack your ribs so I would skip the doctor and the bills. But you may want to check your spleen and kidneys.

I fliped forward on the landing of a 540 atempt, my bindings released and I landed rib fisrt on my bindings, I only bruised them but they had the same symptoms you menssioned but it didnt hurt when I breathed deaply though
so they might just be bruised

Bruised ribs SUCK!!! I had a couple last summer after a stupid rail idea popped into my mind. Anyways, just take it easy, don't do anything on rails till you can move freely again.

Trust me, if they were broken you'd be having a bitch of a time moving let alone spinning. My dad borke 3 biking, and takes them forever to heal.

I bruised like 4 ribs skateboarding this summer. thats probably what happened i reccomend not seeing a doctor because then the parents get involved and the whole 'be careful' thing starts whenever you ski.not good.

dude I wouldn't go to the doctor if you can jump up and down and do 3's and stuff. Just lay off the serious stuff until it feels good. I've bruised my ribs about 3 times now and I've learned that all you can do is wait. You might want to check your insurance policy first if you do go to the doctor though. If it doesn't cover x-rays it'll cost you quite a bit. I got charged $400 and all they did was take 2 x-rays and prescribe some weak ass pain killers.
