Aodhan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I echo that.If you have cracked ribs and keep cracking them, then you are either not taking enough time to let them heal, or there is a bigger problem underneath.Either way, go to a doctor and get it checked out.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowFox Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Start drinking some milk after your ribs heal, get some calcuim in those bones Seriously if your ribs keep on cracking or breaking then you defenitly need some calcium to strengthen those bones "Martial Arts is kinda like yin and yang when you think about it; it 50% physical and 50% mental" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin-Ryu Karateka Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I think the biggest problem with many MA related injuries is that we tend to get back into the dojo before we are fully healed and end up aggraviting the injury and often times end up making it worse.Usually when your doctor tells you you'll be feeling better in a couple of weeks they mean for regular day to day activities, not for high intensity training.Talk to your doctor about your training and you'll probably get a different answer about how long it will take before you're ready to be back at 100%.
