Oblique/Rib strain? - 05/25/07 04:31 AM
I was playing golf about 2 weeks ago. I went to tee off at the first tee. I didn't do any warm up swings. As I swung the club I felt a muscular strain in my ribs.
Anyways I carried on playing. I think it was compounded by me playing on and carrying my clubs. The pain wasn't sharp if you know what I mean so I continued on. When I was weightlifting a few days later I noticed the pain again.
Anyway I think its an oblique strain and I'm resting, icing and using ibuprofen in the affected area. Information on the web is limited on this. Would anybody know how long I will be out with this for? And is there anything else I can do to aid my recovery?
