Last Sunday I did a Spartan Race. Tried climbing a wall, put in sternum horizontal on the wall to get over and my rib cage got caught. Instant pain and jumped off. I finished the race.
Since then I've felt my rib slipping in and out when get up from a sitting or laying position. It's very painful. I got a back brace yesterday that has helped alot with the slipping, but I cant live like this. Had an X-Ray confirm no ribs are broken, but that won't catch anything related to cartilage.
Does this heal on its own? Can SRS happen after trauma to the rib? Is surgery my only option? Starting to really worry since I'm seeing little improvement 4 days since this incident. Any info is helpful.
