[QUOTE="LoriKTM, post: 146345, member: 18495"] Towards the end of my second lap at a harescrambles yesterday, I lost the front end and landed on a rock. The rock hit in the vicinity of my left kidney, and the chest protector didn't cover it (but the kidney belt did). Someone picked my bike up, and after a couple minutes I got up and got back on and finished the lap. I knew adrenaline was keeping the pain down, but I called it a day knowing that I was going to hurt later. And it did. Now I have a big purple bruise on my thigh, but no visible bruise on the ribs. The area is sore to the touch, and if I twist in certain ways, plust I get a fairly sharp pain if I sneeze. Otherwise, it is more of a constant dull ache/pain. I know that the doctors can't really do anything, except take an X-ray and tell me whether it is broken or not. Knowing that, I don't see the point in visiting the doctor, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I know you guys have been there before, how do broken ribs feel compared to bruised ribs?? [/QUOTE]
