    cracked rib?

    I fell off my mtb 8 days ago. Did an endo. Hit hard on my right side, on soft dirt.

    Felt like I'd been kicked in the chest by a horse. It was very painful the next 3 days. 8 days later, I still really hurt. I have a specific sore spot on my LEFT side under the bra band. I find I'm short of breath trying to tell a story. Hurts to get up. Or twist. Turn the steering wheel. Can't lie on that side. Now at least I can roll from my back to the other side.

    Could I have cracked a rib? If so, how long till I can ride again?

    Go get an xray. Several years ago, I took a bad spill and thought I broke a rib. Ended up being a chest contusion.

    Hope you feel better soon.
