Re: [RC] Fractured Ribs- healing time - Steph E CaldwellAmy Cieri wrote:I fractured my ribs when my horse reared and caught the pommel in the chest. This happened Sunday and the pain has decreased by 1/2. The bones popping and grinding don't hurt but the surrounding nerves and tissues sure do. I bruised/cracked my ribs back in the summer when I came off my horse (I slid down a sticker tree into a wood and barbwire fence). It took about 5 or 6 days before I could ride posting trot/2 point canter. About two weeks and I could sit the canter. 4 weeks and I could sit the trot. The bad news... I've ripped them twice since then doing simple stuff and they hurt tonight from using an ax. My father has broken his seven times in 15 years. Once you break them, they'll always be prone to breakage again! Heal fast!
