Is it possible to fracture your ribs when only doing weight training?Because my friend told me that it was, so i am confused. My bottom rib hurts alot, but i havent knocked it or anything.Help!
I don’t know if this is exactly what I did, but I think I pulled a tendon off a rib before! Now that was very painful!!! It’s supposed to hurt as much as a broken rib. I couldn’t even clear my throat, let alone do anything like cough!!
I would have thought that injury would be possible from lifting weights! I did mine doing judo, with the effort of trying to throw someone.
But might be best to get it checked out. When I did mine my Judo instructor was very concerned in case I had fractured a floating rib, as anything sharp down there could damage a lung!
