Been there before and it sucked, especially if I had to cough or sneeze. Hang in there.

I can't say for sure exactly how/when/who. We warm up, drill, then "train". The training part is basically just going round robin, rolling with whomever is open until someone gets swept, passed or submits. Then you move on to the next guy/girl/teenager.
The list of people I rolled with runs the gamut of belts, weight, age and gender.
That was last night. Was a little sore this morning, went swimming. During the BJJ warm up this afternoon I was doing a simple backward roll. Something popped and all hell broke loose. Fairly severe pain. Throw in the towel. Got X-rays. 4-6 weeks of nothing. Nothing.
I sneezed about an hour ago and it was near the top of a very long and impressive list of painful things I've been through. My son was standing next to me and it scared him.
To Tribeer: If I lay down, getting back up will an activity in which I will not be able to participate. I'm delaying the inevitable.

Um....yeah....sounds more like group sex. Not that there is anything wrong with that...except the teenager.

Have fun with that. I fractured three during a martial arts mishap and it was pure fun. I added some bruised inner organs just for fun. One never healed properly which wasnt discovered until years later when I took a blow to that same spot and I dropped like someone had shot me.
Back in the day my doctor gave me codeine for the pain but it didnt agree with me. Besides, pain builds character. A female friend of mine put that to the test when she back handed me across the stomach after I made a joke. She didnt know I had the injury as I tried to keep it quiet. I don't recommend that as a character building exercise.
Enjoy trying to sleep. Laying on your back hurts. On your side hurts and forget about on your stomach. Yep I see fun times ahead.
I know they don't wrap them anymore ( they still did when I injured mine) but you might find that makes them feel a little better. Just be sure to work on your breathing.

I tried to swim two days later (before I confirmed it was broken), and that was a killer. I took about four weeks off from swimming, and it's not quite all healed (but I'm 54). Biking on the trainer worked okay after a couple of weeks off. Running hasn't been too bad. I believe in my case the surgeon said I probably tore some intercostal cartilage or whatever, too. I assume that's what still hurts. I'm ramping up the training, as I have another race in ten days.
If you can't handle getting really crappy sleep for a week or three, then get thee to a pharmacy for some drugs. Pain is for blockheads. I'm used to lousy sleep (don't ask), so I managed to make it through.

I've managed to break/fracture a rib every summer for the past 3 summers. So far this year, I have lucked out and not done anything too stupid.
Learn to sleep on your back on the couch. For some reason, when I sleep in a bed, I roll over in my sleep, then wake up in the middle of the night in pain. On a couch, I fall asleep on my back and wake up on my back.

Thanks a lot. I knew someone else on here would have some experience with this.
I got a call from another doc who looked at the X-rays and he thinks it may be "just" intercostal tear. According to him that can be more painful than a fracture but heals faster.
I can't carry anything more than a couple of pounds with my left arm (injury is back right) but I can hold heavy stuff in my right hand.
Might have liver/gallbladder damage, too (we play rough).
I have only sneezed once and will do whatever it takes to not do that again.
I feel better when I talk about it.
Tried your getting out of bed method and it work well. Thanks a bunch.
You have been granted at least 30 days of Duffy being nice to you. If I get some Vicodin out of this that could be extended.

Heal up. I broke a rib (just one) in high school. It was agony. Take care.

Comes with the territory in martial arts. That and a few fractured knuckles were pretty common in my years of Karate and Boxing.

My broken rib was two years ago and the memory is still fresh. I was running a race on a trail that was very smooth and going slightly downhill. It was an old railroad bed so it was nice and wide. Hard to really call it a trail. Whelp, I was moving along enjoying a little free speed and found the ONE rock that was sticking up. I went airborne and landed on my side. Unfortunately I was around halfway through the race and it was a 50k. Fuck those last 15+ miles hurt. I went to urgent care the next day when the pain was still there and got an xray. Broken right underneath where my bra goes under my boobs. I'm not young and sexy so the braless look on me doesn't go over well. Plus it was kinda inappropriate for the office so I had to suffer with the strap right on top of the break. Oy.
Lying on my side was impossible. Sneezing and laughing were a nightmare. Drugs were damn good though. That was the benefit of seeing a Dr.
Took several weeks before I could get back to running. I'd say it was 7 or 8 before I was completely pain free.
I hope I never go through that again.
