Skiing with a Bruised Rib

Bruised ribs are no fun! It seems everything that engages the core will cause some pain. That pretty much means every activity including walking or sitting.
I think its just a pain tolerance issue. Taking it easy at first seems like a good idea. so go for it! and enjoy yourself!

Well, sunday I am going to give it a go... Snowcat for a few runs to see how I fare, and if okay up to the top! Eitherway, it should be a fun day!!

Think it all the way through.
Firm conditions are likely all over.
The hip won't matter much unless you fall.
Cracked/bruised ribs only hurt if you breathe.
Sik's suggestion is worth considering.

It really comes down to pain tolerance. I started skiing again 2 weeks after breaking three ribs in a brutal collision. I'd its really really firm the chatter won't be fun but if conditions are reasonable or better it can be a lot of fun as long as you are smart about it.

Man you're a trooper! even if I take just one run from the top I will be happy.

My first day back my goal was one run. I took a nice easy cruiser and conditions were really good so I kept on going. I certainly wasn't in charging mode but I made several runs down some intermediate terrain keeping it slow and smooth.

Is the advice given here Collective wisdom here OR Pooled Ignorance ???
weight the outcomes a couple of minutes of marginal skiing fun to fill a perceived need versus reinjury , more pain and ache and a longer recovery possibly screwing up other off season activities..
H'mmm what d ya think ?

Well off season activities would be sitting at the beach, using the boat and mowing the lawn. Nothing too exciting. If I do go up there Sunday, I will stick to snowcat at first. I don't want to get even more hurt. However, I am icing my ribs, taking advil, and keeping it easy. I did pull my damn groin though yesterday. But if I feel that I am not up physically up to it by Saturday afternoon - then I will most likely pass.

I've also bruised some ligaments in my groin. THAT was an injury that definitely made it difficult to ski.

Groin pull is worse than the hip replacement i had in mid OCT , the hip healed fine groin issues are freaking nasty
.Iliosoas tendon ( groin) is aching now for damn near 18'months had pt . I am now going to do ultrasound and ionphoresis to get that sucker in order . Its a long achy process. so i agree Sammy ,hard to ski with one and IF it gets worse ur in for a loooong rehab son . Yeah i skied on one too but damn thing only got worse not better .
Trust me it isnt worth a few runs in the long run ......i love to ski but i wished id been smarter about giving the body time to heal

My sincere advise, just stay and get fully recovered! Healthy is precious wealth, let your body get what it deserves

Ionphoresis must hurt real bad and or feel super screwed up on the groin. Yikes. Gotta do what you gotta do though!

Your ribs may scream at you but your feet will never forgive you if you don't get up on the mountain for another day!
