Have you ever broken a rib/s playing soccer?

Question

has anyone ever broken a rib/s playing soccer

or broke cartlidge off

what did the docs do for you?

Answer 1

no, I haven't  gotten any serious injuries. Its mostly goalies who get those, and I play center/ striker watever

Answer 2

No.  I usually get bored and stop playing before it gets to that point.  There's not much you can do for broken ribs other than rest.

Answer 3

I have cracked a rib playing football but I didn't realize until a few hour later when I got home.

Doctors don't really do anything but prescribe painkillers and rest as there is nothing else they can do for a rib injury. They used to strap your chest but all that does is restrict your breathing, so it's not very beneficial.

The pain usually reduces after a couple of weeks and is gone in about 3-4 weeks.
