Does anyone know what's behind rib number 10?

Question

I think it's the very bottom rib or the second one. I'm fairly certain I just bruised it (doesn't hurt all that bad). But I'm going to try and surf over the next couple of days. I know this rib is below the lungs. But as long as I handle the pain, is there any other damage I can do to myself? Are there any organs behind the lowest rib?

Answer 1

floating ribs protect part of the liver, splean, stomach, pacreas all the way around to near kidneys.  Depending on what side, you can get an idea what you may have hurt.

Most times, you don't hurt any organs, you simply fracture or bruise the ribs in the area.  And thos ribs at the bottom are not as strong as the rest.

LOL, I was going to say to your question:  A BRAND NEW CAR!!! (behind rib 10) :)
