Re: [RC] Fractured Ribs- healing time - osbergWe recently had to run our neighbor - who lives alone - up to the ER with severe chest pains - also suspecting broken ribs. After spending 4 hours waiting while they ran all kinds of tests and did xrays on him they just sent him home with some pain pills. 7 days later the Radiologist called him at home and said "I bet you're a little sore, huh. You've got 4 cracked ribs." And for that kind of service we pay top dollar! But I guess there isn't really a lot they do for the cracked/broken ribs anyways.Betty ~ In Minnesota ~ http://www.rhythmbeads.com/ Many people are now using Rhythm Beads to improve their horse's performance by enhancing their horse's stride rhythm. Maybe you should too! Rhythm Beads are known to help calm and relax both horse and rider! I was kicked by a horse several years ago. The suspected several fractured ribs, couldn't see it on the xray, which they said was common. They sent me home anyway. A few fractured ribs didn't really seem concerning to the emergency room staff. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
