Surf injury

Postby milogillespie » Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:20 pm

Hey I'm 14, two weeks ago I somehow managed to sprain my costoverteble joint (where the top rib meets the spine) I was wondering if anyone had the same experience and knew of any exercises to help and how long should I stay of surfing for? Cheers

Sounds painful. I would say get plenty of rest and see a physio if you haven't done so.

Your doctor who made the diagnosis should tell you how long to not surf. I hear they heal fast like a week or two or three but check with your doctor for medically correct advice
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
