[garlicslut]

any of yall deal w rib issues?

there's been several times over the years that my rib(s) have felt like they were in the wrong spot, with varying degrees of pain accompanying it

its now happening more frequently and seriously. my ribs felt agitated for the past few days and then this morning when smoking my weed (😭🫡) and coughing i felt something go wrong. now its hard to move without serious twinging. im in bed now w ice pack on me, and i just recently bought k tape for my wrists

I think i may give the k tape a go on my one side. this is bullshit I know i smoke a lotta weed so that doesnt help but also...

Slipped Rib

Ugh. I think I've slipped the floating rib on my right side. Running hurts. Spin hurts. BEING ALIVE HURTS. Going to the gym for prolonged periods actually makes me close to fainting. I worked in a high end baby store two years ago in strollers. Since it was the busiest section, that meant carrying 50 lb boxes up from the basement. At the time, I thought the pain was from a pulled muscle. Peter (fiance) even thought I had gallstones. An ultrasound proved nothing, obv. But last night Peter (months away from his full MD) palpated my rib and dingdingding. Two years of mystery pain that has come and gone is FINALLY SOLVED. Except it's just probs another benign medical thing I need to accept with no discernible solution. Yay. Any advice out there from people with similar injuries? I can still do low impact body weight exercises, but even walking for more than an hour is unbearable :(

Question for my unusually bendy friends

OK, I know that a few of you have some frequently/easily-dislocated joints, and I'm hoping you can offer me some advice. One of my ribs slipped/subluxated this weekend, but instead of going back after some stretching and cursing, it's stubbornly and painfully getting more and more outta whack. I took a short nap this afternoon, and that seems to have really aggravated it. I've done the bear-hug stretch and tried to pop it back in by doing ridiculous contortions on a hard floor (which popped a lot of little crunchy things back in place, so not a total loss). All my back muscles are screaming, and my range of motion is literally getting more limited by the hour. Would heat or ice help? IDK which to use - do I want the surrounding tissue relaxed, or less inflamed? What's going to make it easiest to pop it back in? It's going to be a few days before I could see a doc, so if there's some secret to making it behave sooner, I'd really love to hear it.

I have a slipped rib, which got worse in my sleep last night. My second rib is completely fucked on my left side, as well as my hips, neck, arms, and shoulders (the usual) I can't take a full breath. I think it got worse from sleeping with my head on Red all night, and have a cough that's getting worse. 

I can't actually afford to go to the doctor, and I already am going to the doctor tomorrow which puts me out 120$. I think I have to take out a 3rd credit card.

BLAHHHH.
