Has anyone ever actually broken a rib?

Broke? No.

Bruised? Yes. Dumb ass drunkenly fell off a child's toy slide thing. Tipped the whole bloody thing over.

This was long ago on break in Edinburgh, mid-late 20's. I didn't hear the end of it until I moved away.

I was being an obnoxious 20-something at my girlfriend's place during a house party and me and my buddy got the brilliant idea to bodycheck each other like in the hockey days. We go back and forth harder and harder until he gets a nice hard shoulder right to my ribcage and I knew something was wrong. Hurt like hell for a couple months but it was 100% my fault and I've never done any drunken alpha male combat shit since.

I did twice doing Muay Thai back in the day. Shit sucks and takes forever to heal.

I don't know if I've ever broken one but I fell from an insane height one time and initially thought I was totally fine but then my one rib started popping out of place and it hurts like fuck in the front and the back when it happens. I have to lift shit that weighs more than me all the time but the last time it happened all I was doing was pulling a fucking sapling out of the ground and it was weeks of pain.

How hard can it be to lift 90 pounds?
